The corporations have already planted their own bombs. All we have to do is light the fuses

In Neal Stephenson's works, particularly in his science fiction novels, the theme of corporate power and control is a recurring motif. Stephenson often explores the idea of corporations as powerful entities that manipulate and exploit society for their own gain. The quote "The corporations have already planted their own bombs. All we have to do is light the fuses" encapsulates this idea perfectly.
