Indentured slavery has a long history. The cyberpunk take on it just subverts the concept, where it becomes control of the mind instead of the body.

You contend that gainful employment is indentured slavery? I don't think the slaves you're talking about were getting paid $200,000 a year.

I'm referencing the "cyberpunk universe" mentioned, not reality. I agree with you: there is nothing about cyberpunk nor mind-control going on in SF.
