Any books/movies out there that explore the economic/political side of the singularity?

Robotics
We talk a lot about the mechanics of an AI hard takeoff, but I really want to find some fiction that actually explores the realistic societal fallout of it. If a single company or person hits AGI first and it triggers a fast takeoff, they basically gain a total global monopoly overnight by instantly consolidating infinite resources. Once you pair AGI with advanced robotics, human labor becomes completely obsolete, meaning the general public loses every ounce of bargaining power.
