Interesting. The first thought that popped into my head as I read the article was ..this is the corporate version of the evolution of the rise and fall of communism.

Prediction: Google will be in 20 years what Soviet Russia became at around 2000s.

They will go from utopia to totalitarian to insignificant player in a few decades.

Why this happens puzzles me..I grew up when Soviet Russia/USSR was still alive and then watched it go away. And see where it is at now. I don’t understand it. It’s like a mystery. But the pattern to dissolution is inevitable.
