There's an ancient UNIX copypasta that's basically the plot of this comic, but it's troublingly hard to find the original online.

Here's one version I found: http://www.anvari.org/fun/Web_Tina/CREATION.html

I don't remember "technocrat" being part of the original, but it wouldn't be the first time my recollection has been wrong.
