The best best sci-fi series I’ve ever read (in my opinion) is The Expanse, and this is the main plot point (though the first book doesn’t really dive deep into it, you need to get to know the characters and society before it can explore how merging humans and technology will affect things).
The book, rightly in my opinion, presents it as pretty horrifying and treats it as an extinction level threat. Technology is a useful tool. It should remain a tool. Operated by humans. Having said that, it’s not all bad and there are some people in the story who don’t believe that.
The TV series, while great, takes the story in a different direction. Also they cancelled it before it reached the end of the story. Sigh.
I second this recommendation of the Expanse series of books. I thought the TV series did a pretty good job even though they did not get to tell the whole tale.
