Yes and soon state power will give way to corporate power structures

> more than half the global population live in filth and poverty >so the others can have cheap clothes, i pads and relatively easy lives >but they don't see that as a problem. They debate gender and race issues meanwhile some kid spends over 24 hours in a cobalt mine to make the battery for the first world persons phone >who will use the phone to tweet about white privilege or why trump is the best
Now that's real sci-fi

The problem is you thought you would be Hiro Protagonist instead of random office drone #2501. It is ok, you can still trade cryptocurrency and pretend to to be an elite hacker in your spare time.
