Add to that corporations with more power than governments (Facebook,Amazon,Google), and that the eco-systems around us are being pushed to their breaking points. I think people don't think we're in a cyberpunk novel because the world isn't bathed in neon lights.

Until one of the FAANGs get access and control to their own nuclear weapon and/or military - they unequivocally do not have more power than governments do.
Governments (in general) have a monopoly on the power to kill their citizens and (potentially) the citizens of other governments/countries. None of the FAANGs have that (that we know of).
