The network that carries information can just as well be used to spread disinformation, the network that promotes equality can just as well be an algorithm that promotes inequality, in the end the elite are they who own technology and the land it is on and the victims are they who fall to the machines the others own.
Technology is a form of life, a machine is not only a worker its also a consumer, it must be kept from harm, fed, cleaned and replaced, its maintenance is its pay.
In the past the elite always brought in foreign workers to exploit in place of paying fairly to local guilds and foreign administrators to isolate their control from local power blocks.
Today the exploited “foreigners” are machines and we are the circumvented guild. The Elite also replace each other with technology, fewer and fewer remain elite so wealth gets concentrated, machines make up more and more of the economy and humans less and less.
In a sense the elite arrive at where they are by making the right betrayals, if they betray the human race to technology they themselves become forfeit one by one in turn, and so by such humanity goes extinct.
