Is it problematic that people are being replaced by machines and advances in automation? Or will the new economy make up for all those displaced jobs the way it virtually always has?

I'm not an economist or anything, but my fear is that on our present course there will be jobs, but they will be grossly underpaying and probably dangerous - the middle class will completely hollow out and there will be a permanent underclass of what are essentially serfs whose job it will be to come into town, fix the broken machines, and fuck off back to the slums
