Sort of. I can't recall one that predicts people being replaced by robots, and then there is massive poverty and riots.

SNIP The first work of science fiction that explicitly presents (and names) the robot apocalypse is Karel Čapek's 1920 tale “Rossumovi Univerzální Roboti” (Rossum's Universal Robots). In this story, the universal robots rebel against their human enslavers, exterminating and replacing humanity.

Me: I haven't read it, but it's showed up in places reviewing Sci Fi. It surprised me too.
