If automation is the big, hidden line cutter, why is it missing from our understanding of middle- and working-class resentment and from the deep story into which that resentment crystalizes? For one thing, we are invited to celebrate robots as a sign of progress, growth, greatness. They are technological marvels. They cut errors. They improve production. But whatever our politics, this leaves us at an emotional dead-end, for how can we get mad at wordless, raceless, genderless, home-made American robots cutting in line, one by one by one?
