No, but I think you could tell a sufficiently compelling allegorical / metaphorical story about how farm tractors, in destroying the livelihood of farmhands, might as well have pried their muscle fibres out of their live bodies.
For sure. No, there's a tragically awful irony in the fact that the clankers run entirely on the (unpaid for) intellectual output and cognitive labour of humanity, white-collar professionals, academics, specialists and creatives, yet the idea is that these people are supposed to be obsoleted by the clankers.
