I kind of agree, its a bit too fragmented.
I think there are a handful of "obvious" interactions that should have been called out.
Politics + Space: Greater international competition for space-resources will likely begin, and we may see the end of first-come-first-serve orbits. The international inward-turning politics may be particularly poorly timed; we may see irregular military action in space.
Politics + Cyberspace: Inward-turning politics combined with greater awareness/impact of breaches (including on increasingly-autonomous vehicles?) will almost certainly lead to countries closing their digital borders a-la China. Its already been proposed in the UK, I believe.
AI: This is going to be the source of some huge wildcard, and I think everybody knows it. Companies have massive amounts of data on people regarding how they behave; eventually someone is going to give that data to an AI with the right/wrong instructions to make a noticeable impact on society.

I mean nominal in the grand scheme of controlling the populace through digital graphics and social commentary. That is real and it was applauded when the Obama administration was won. Since then, all politicians leverage algorithms and digital channels to spread their messages.
