It might be more like the "dark ages". The people got along we don't know what they were doing but the result was the "renaissance".

The growth in power of megacorporations has been coined a new type of feudalism, so dark ages might not be a bad description.

They were called such due to the decline of written material: the written record went "dark" compared to antiquity and then modernity.

Definitely in another dark age in that sense, due to the postmodern decline of meaningful written communication on paper.
