There have always been revolutions, there have always been ways to offload a lot of work (millennia before machines and computers humanity had slaves). The most important part of any society hasn't changed -- people haven't changed. We're still pretty much the same animal that roamed the Africa and, unless we start radically modifying our own genome or come up with implants that can actually change our very personalities, the same motives and patterns that permeated our history will remain recognizable in the future. High tech love (or greed, or kindness, or lust...) is not that dissimilar to low tech love. Which is why we can look at Rome or Greece and see our own republics. BTW we can really look at Rome now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrIEwjgfbYs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrIEwjgfbYs
