    Nah, they'd fit pretty good to the dystopia you'll be / you're already living in. Don't tell me the acronyms of GAFAM (Google (Alphabet), Apple, Facebook (Meta), Amazon and Microsoft ) and FAANG ( Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google ) don't sound like some end-of-world ushering big corps à la umbrella corporation.

    MAMAA (Meta Alphabet Microsoft Amazon Apple) also fits our cyberpunk dystopia quite well.
