Surplus population

As science and technology advances, the traditional reliance for manual labor gradually becomes unnecessary. As production of goods turn more and more to automation and robots, humans become superfluous leaving them with no value at all. Wealth is concentrated in the hands of those who have knowledge and machines but everyone else is left behind.

These people become the surplus population and their role is reduced to being carriers of the human code. Is this development the only prospect for Homo sapiens?
