I recently preordered Cory Doctorow's book dealing with this: The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI.

The title refers to most machinery being a "centaur," meaning a thinking human is carried by the machine doing the heavy lifting, while the goal of AI companies is to replace high value work with the opposite. They want to turn people into meat appendages that serve unthinking machines.
