Back in the 50s a mathematician, Norbert Wiener, published "The Human Use of Human Beings: Cybernetics and society".
He wrote"...the automatic machine...is the precise economic equivalent of slave labor..."(p.220)
"... there is nothing in the industrial tradition which forbids an industrialist to make a sure and quick profit and to get out before the crash touches him personally."
"... will lead to an immediate transitional period of disastrous confusion." (p.219)
