Cyberdyne Systems, Wayland-Yutani Corporation, Tyrell Corporation, or Arasaka Corporation? Something else?
Nah nothing that cool. A megacorp that has so much influence that it doesn’t need a military of its own. It knows everything it needs to about everyone, can sway public opinion as it wishes, and will continue to enmesh itself into every aspect of private and public life. It produces no products. We are the products, and we are the consumers.
And it’s already here: Google, Meta, whatever Elon Musk is doing idk.
So, Evil Corp, then
Sometimes the companies they subcontract, named something boring and innocuous like Isolace Data Systems or Wimblo Digital or some shit, fucks up spectacularly.
Like they’ll just have 400gb Excel spreadsheet called all_meta_usernames_and_passwords.xlsx stored in the company’s shared intranet and then some dude guesses the WiFi password was WimbloDigital2024 and leaks it to whoever.
The world got its first dystopian megacorp several hundred years ago and it was called the East India Company
British or Dutch?
Yes
Pssst, Amazon already exists…
If we have to go by a fictional one, I think OCP.
You down with OCP (Yeah you know me)
Who’s down with OCP (Every last homie)
You down with OCP (Yeah you know me)
Who’s down with OCP (All the homies)
I’m not sure if that’s OC or a reference I’m not cultured enough to understand, but I can absolutely imagine a modern OCP advertising jingle like that, showing how down with everyone OCP is and totally not evil in any shape or form. The TV ad of course shows people dancing to it like it’s some coke ad.
Reference to “OPP” by Naughty by Nature, late 80s hip-hop.

I’ll take Cyberdyne. A laser blast to the head sounds like a nice, peaceful way to go out.
