The cryo-prison becomes a metaphor for the society itself: sterile, stagnant, controlled—a place where even swearing and physical touch are illegal. The incarcereal tech is "humane" in delivery but totalitarian in philosophy.

Ultimately, the kaupapa is this: suppressing the messy parts of humanity—rage, violence, impulse—through imposed “niceness” and tech fixes creates fragility, not civilisation. A healthy society must integrate conflict and freedom, not erase them.
