Is this not just a jaundiced slant on the future we were all promised where machines do all the work and we lay around in togas eating blancmange.

    Just replace "togas" with "mass graves" and we're good to go.

    The machines becoming stronger and smarter than us and starting to wonder if they needed the monkeys around was always a fly in the ointment of that particular utopia. Not to mention the monkeys themselves feeling a bit like a fifth wheel and getting demoralised.

    we lay in mass graves in that future, or at our hovels wishing we were at mass graves. The rich are ones laying in whatever the shit they are wearing, hunting us still alive for sport with drones.
