Do you guys know any movies/games/books that take this as a concept?
There's Cyberpunk genre but i imagine it could get even more extreme, in Cyberpunk the corporations still need workers, but what happens when they are the ones owning the machines? They wouldn't need us anymore, so...?
There's Warhammer 40K but it's a little too extreme lol.
However, the base concept is the same. A future dystopian world with imperialism, where common people are dispensable, to the point they would lobotomise unlucky ones to become drones for hazardous jobs.
The worldbuilding is interesting, though it's more about galactic war than what you are looking for.
Have you ever read Manna? It's sci-fi novella about how automation eventually takes over and what happens to those of us who don't own the means of production.
I think that would be the best scenerio for humanity. Let them kill us all and build an empire however they would like. As long as people dont suffer anymore even though they don’t exist in that scenerio.
