With the rise of Africa in the later half of this century, climate change really starting to swing, the maturation/stagnation of the digital/surveillance economy, and the coming pandora's box of CRISPR-CAS9, the social/economic environment that is giving rise to this Neo-gilded age of corporate feudalism cannot stand for much longer. Life is going to be too 'fun' for the stodgy lords/CEOs.
