I don't know, I work in a field that could be seen as the logical culmination of the Industrial Revolution (to this point) - highly technical, machine assisted knowledge work - and I have community, culture, and humanity in my working life.

Being the 'logical culmination' of the Industrial Revolution does not mean you've been automated (and thus suffered the alienating consequences), rather the opposite: you're currently on the un-automated cutting edge. Your intangibles are exactly what others have lost, and you personally will lose, with further progress in automation.
