As far as I read, its more an opinioned essay about the political influence of some silicon vally cooperations. I think, these “companies will be more important than states”-thing is over. We all has become witnesses for the importance of policies on a state level in the last decade. It’s not over for them, like it or not.

Now that we have entered a new period of political tension at the global level, I think the role of states will be even more important. An interesting side note: the institution of the European Union has failed to create a strategy to respond to the current war in Ukraine. So, the idea of super-national institutions like the EU or whatever, seems unlikely to be a solution to the problem of global coordination and cooperation as humanity. Again, like it or dislike it. I’m pretty sure many international observers has already note this and drawt their conclusions.
