Isn’t that a crime..?

Jesus H. Christ, people are taking the wrong idea from those types of stories! Those are cautionary tales of giving corporations too much power, and letting them take over the government. These stories are meant to show that when a sociopathic entity (a corp), which has one goal of profit above all else, is given power then it will use it without considering the human effects. This type of story isn't even prescient, most of them were written in a way that simply shines a light onto things that today's corps are already doing!

These writers weren't trying to excite you, they were trying to warn you. I'm having existential dread that people want to see cyberpunk-like things come to reality.
