Smart cities with tech barons won't ever happen for a lot of reasons, mainly because the government always wins. Tech bros don't have the political and military means to sovereignty . Dictatorship, civil war, corruption with a side dish of genocidal tendencies -- that's on the menu okay.

Besides, I don't think serfom has to do anything with it, as you have to keep people in, while the current agenda is all about keeping people out.
