The releases are good.
The pistons are nice nerd jokes on general scifi. Room Temperature superconductors would cut our technology costs to a fraction and jump up the portability of big beefy electronics, while giant sturdy piezo-electric material means that the pistons are very similar to how rolex watches power themselves ie. they'll run longer than nuclear.

Ah I remember a discussion I had with my friend for his Thesis proposal. He wanted to use sound to generate energy so he wanted to develop a microphone like system. I told him it's not worth it due to how difficult it is, and even if he was able to do it, the energy it will generate is extremely low. Like extremely low, like charging an AAA battery to full will take months or years. He also have to account the lose of energy which he didn't in our discussion. There's actually a lot he didn't account for when he pitched the idea to me now that I think about it, but knowing him he'll just throw any idea to just graduate and start working already.
I was thinking that arcology as an O'Neill cylinder but those things are not structured to use pistons to generate energy as far I'm aware. It might be somewhat a Dyson Sphere but rather than covering the sun, it's covering Earth. But that doesn't explain why there are pistons that is both used to maintain the structural integrity of arcology but also generate energy for it's systems.
If you ask me, those pistons are only to maintain structural integrity and the power generation is just a secondary use of it. Which means the arcology is powered by something greater so it might be possible that the reason why the arcology is starting to fail is because that power source has started to run out and it might be the reason for the great war.
