The very beginning of the trouble finds a group of elites taking over then making themselves immortal with their brains implanted in powerful mech bodies. Then the dumbest and laziest of them invents a computer to do all that pesky domination work. Voila Omnius the super AI who seizes planets and starts a looong war with the mechs and humans on surviving free worlds.

Fiction is sometimes only speculating on human nature taking its course.

The nasty idiots today of course only have one planet for all these games. For us, the future is always premature- and stupidly suicidal.
