    that is the stock cyberpunk setting, yes.

    based on the labor disputes and capitalist atrocities occurring outside the reach any government the EIC's , the first modern corporations, thought was legitimate. right down to the abundance of peope with katanas kicking the shit out of people with guns (a lot of samurai came to be mercenaries), wholly owned corporate subsidiary states, and horrific cartoonishly evil labor abuses.
