#Cyberpunk / #SciFi stories where giant corps are more powerful than nation states have been my fav since I first read #CountZero (my first cyberpunk book ever). I never imagined this could ever come true in my lifetime but I'm not so sure anymore.

There still may be some hope, if we start dismantling #BigTech (well, Big anything) as @pluralistic suggests, and explains how they got so damn big. Quite interesting that the #future is built on the 19th century monopolistic capitalism, isn’t it?
