They already won. 9/11 was the tipping point where shit started collapsing.
1990s was the peak prosperity of US civilization. From best music to best promise of hope and wealth distribution. 9/11 attacks were the point of the beginning of the end really.
Everyone says the machines put us in a late 90s Matrix because it was the peak and it keeps the people happy so they can use us as batteries.
But it seems more likely that they put us in the late 90s so we can re-live the downfall of humanity as punishment.
The Industrial Age which began in the late 18th century was seen as a downfall for humanity by various thinkers, writers, and critics at the time. John Stuart Mill raised concerns about the negative impacts of industrialization on society and the environment. He was spot on about the environment. I think he was probably spot on about the downfall of humanity, also.
