This reminds me of the novella "Manna":

> He looked at me for a long time, "A computer is telling you what to do on the job? What does the manager do?"

> "The computer is the manager. Manna, manager, get it?"

> "You mean that a computer is telling you what to do all day?", he asked.

> "Yeah."

Yes, that dystopia (at least in the beginning of the novella) is becoming reality for a lot of people. And I don't think it's getting better soon. We should consider ourselves lucky that we are the ones that program computers instead of the ones programmed by them.
