>I want to be in fucking Altered Carbon.

You want to be in a dystopia? Where the wealthy just keep taking and concentrating wealth and never fucking die? iirc poor people did not have their stacks placed into new bodies if they couldn't afford it

Better odds than I have of having my stack implanted anywhere.

If your standard of living and quality of life are so great that you are effectively immortal and without serious want, then who cares how much the rich are hoarding?

The value of their wealth sharply drops in meaning if everyone else is well off enough to say "eh, so? Who cares what's in your bank account!?!?"

I take it you haven't watched or read altered carbon. It would be like if only billionairs were immortal and the rest of us were slaves under threat of having to pay off our debts by selling our physical bodies to our debtors.
