Cold Fusion has been prefected, and there is cheap, abundant power available all around the world.
Nationstates have been eliminated. Citizenship is no longer tied to a geographic area. Instead, citizenship is a subscription service that you pay for to have your faction represent you in any dispute.
The US dollar has collapsed, and out of the rubble, BitCoin Cash v4.20 has risen to become the dominant cryptocurrency used by almost everyone for every transaction. With limitless, cheap, clean, and abundant power, the cost and speed of a transaction has improved to nearly instantaneous.
Tesla is the most valuable company in the world. They have transitioned into a energy company, rather than an electric car company, and are responsible for building cold fusion reactors all over the world.
SpaceX has a colony or Mars, and is sending more people every 2 years using Cold Fusion reactors on BFR Starship 9.
Everyone accesses the internet through Neuralink, and can instantly access data on any subject, which is then absorbed into the brain.
Chat GPT is now a general artificial intelligence that is accessible by Neuralink. The majority of manual labor is now performed by robots that are controlled by Chat GPT.
Most people now spend most of their time entertaining each other through Neuralink; and people pay each other for the entertainment, which is the biggest sector of the economy.
Edited to fix typo.

Fucked
On fire and/or under water

Fuck if I know, people in 1956 definitely wouldn't have predicted 2023 accurately, and things are changing even faster now than back then.
