Techno-feudalism is exactly what cyberpunk novels were describing. They were dystopias. They were warnings about letting corporations control everything.

True, but so far we just get the bad things (corporatocracy and the the gradual hollowing out of individual liberties) and none of the good things (gene-hacking, neural uplinks, and matrix-avatars) that cyberpunk promised. I demand a refund!
Techno-feudalism and anarcho-syndicalism will form a dynamic balance, if the prophets are to be believed. :-)
