      East-Asian megacorps are kind of on a different scale if you’re not used to it though

        There’s a reason that popular Cyberpunk looked to Japan for inspiration when it comes to end stage capitalism in a digitally connected world.

        The assumption was that these Japanese style megacorps would segregate and dominate the internet, in the way we’ve mostly seen tech-bro startups manage.

        Honestly I prefer the cruel indifference of the Cyberpunk musings on megacorp dystopia than what we’ve got.
