I mean, the biggest warnings of cyberpunk fiction have always been about corporations consolidating more power than nations. With that in mind, the genre hasn't been a warning for decades; just a mirror to our existing capitalist dystopia.

I honestly feel that we didn't truly hit that Cyberpunk dystopia until the past fifteen years. It's not that multinational corporations weren't a problem, its that now we have megacorps truly influencing every minute and every aspect of our lives to the point that it is impossible to tell if any thought that crosses our brain is truly our or if it has been somehow tainted by the omnipresence of megacorp influence.

It is ironic that I typed that on my cyberdeck (smartphone) while listening to a conference call with a megacorp (Microsoft) and wearing a auditory neural link (Bluetooth earpiece), then uploaded it to "the net".
