I wonder how far away the tech industry is from returning to company towns, complete with Bitcoin-like digital scrip to spend at their online stores.

It seems like the amount of time/energy spent dressing up the bleak economic prospects of structural inequality as new fashions could be put to better use addressing these problems. But then I guess the robber barons of the gilded age didn't have teams of marketers under the thumb of outrageous student loan debt.
