The oligarchs of hyperoligarchy—the individuals who occupy the apex of the hyperslavery system, owning not just wealth but the platforms, algorithms, data systems, and infrastructural [technologies] that structure existence under late-stage capitalism. Hyperoligarchs are [distinguished] from traditional oligarchs by the nature of their power: they don't just control resources but control the [architecture] of modern life. A traditional oligarch might own factories; a hyperoligarch owns the platform that decides which factories get customers. A traditional oligarch might own media; a hyperoligarch owns the algorithm that decides what counts as media. Hyperoligarchs are the few whose fortunes are measured in the hundreds of billions, whose companies intermediate more human interaction than most governments, whose decisions shape the reality of billions. They are the monarchs of the open-air prison, whether they know it or not.
