The machine is way more than superficial stuff. Our government, legal process, financial system, medical, communication networks, food production, media, on and on - are part of the machine.

Machines require maintenance. And at this point the machine is so big we can barely keep it going at 40 hours a week. Automation may save us, but it seems like we automate just enough to open up new capability that itself requires maintenance.
