I agree. To an extent though. Look at anime - it has maintained the dystopian view (Ghost in the shell, etc) where you have amazing tech and ultra-dense urban environments. Places like Singapore, specifically, and tokyo are where cyberpunk is, was and will be. The location will retain value as density increases over time. People make the assumption that the density of population and tech is evenly distributed. It has never been - never will be. You will have ultra-dense areas in singapore and tokyo that truly resemble cyberpunk (I think you do already). For me, years of playing cyberpunk as a kid after reading the books in the 80s... it was more about the geo-corpolitic dynamic... Apple is Ono Sendai, for example - but not under threat yet that it needs its own security. I predict; Facebook, Google, Monsanto, Goldman Sachs -- will be the companies that require the services of a security force like XE. Google's datacenters are already built like prisons, complete with local - low-IQ security bio-robots already looking for a reason to exert their 'authority' over an intruder. One can only expect that a company like GS and Monsanto are about 5 years away from the first incursions against them.
