Today even the smallest countries can buy digital espionage services, enabling them to conduct sophisticated operations like electronic eavesdropping or influence campaigns that were once the preserve of major powers like the United States and Russia. Corporations that want to scrutinize competitors’ secrets, or a wealthy individual with a beef against a rival, can also command intelligence operations for a price, akin to purchasing off-the-shelf elements of the National Security Agency or the Mossad.
There were books in the 1980's predicting such a cyberpunk future in years around now. 2019 would have sounded right in place in such stories. Cybersecurity consultants gone rogue, hiding out in Russia. Hackers turned into CIA assets, playing head games with ex-soldiers who opt to change their gender. Corporations and tin-pot governments hiring hackers to do surveillance. Eccentric billionaires seeking to jump-start space industry and the colonization of Mars. We are in the 1980's cyberpunk future. It's just that the names, time scales, and pay scales have changed.
Just get rid of a few details like RAM being a valuable pocketable item and revolvers with Xenon weaponlights being used by mercenaries, and Neuromancer holds up kinda ok.
