Before reading, just note that I just want to share an idea, so broken english and broken phrasing might exist in this post. It would be really apreciated to maybe have someone who like that post help it explain the idea in a better way. If a similar post already exist, than I'm sorry.
The question is: Will there one day be some sort of artificial paradise?
Like, I've seen the game "Second Life", a game where you can play in any world, in any character. Now with VR, that game became more realistic, it give a better experience. So it made me think.
So what if one day, humans will create a paradise in a computer simulation were everyone will have it one place, be connected like in the movie "Matrix", a bed sized supercomputer thousand of thousand more powerfull than what we have today will generate that world to our own will, NPC more realistic than ever. The ultimate experience. The only goal of the AI that manage your world, make you eternally happy.
There could be several version of simulations that could make you happy. Maybe an open-world or your life could be recreated in a different way.
At the very end of your life, you could be connected to a computer that maintains you alive.
What about to create a pseudo-paradise, like drugs could make you feel better or give you halucinations, a device implemented in your body could change the connection between the brain and the body.
Ps: I think this post can be inproved.

I'm downvoting this because it appears to be a low-effort post which doesn't contribute or synthesize any interesting ideas. Prime Intellect is the novel that first comes to mind as discussing some of what you're talking about, but several chapters are very disturbing, and there's probably better examples out there. If you have Netflix, San Junipero (Season 3 Episode 4) of Black Mirror is fantastic and very relevant.
