It isn't like it didn't happen. Here's an example [0] where a factory owner started replacing the workers with automation/robots. This was in 1964. There's another episode [1] where a scientist creates a computer that can converse with him and it goes all wrong.

These kinds of plots were actually quite common as people wrestled with the unknown future of the coming nuclear age.
