What's crazy is if you read the monetary value of the biggest corps on the Cyberpunk wiki, we have corporations in real life that dwarf those numbers. Granted, Cyberpunk was written in the 80s, which had IBM as the richest corporation at the time worth around $130 billion (adjusted for inflation). Meanwhile, nowadays, Microsoft is worth over $3 trillion, Apple over $2.8 trillion, Saudi Aramco over $1.9 trillion, etc. Absolutely wild that even in the worst predictions by the Cyberpunk creator, it's still a fraction of what reality turned out to be.
