Neal Stephenson uses the Eloi/Morlock analogy in _In The Beginning Was
The Command Line_, talking about how the geeks (Morlocks) run computer
systems; and on some level the world.  He was talking about operating
systems, though, and how Windows is only popular because it's used by
the Eloi and there are lots of them.

Read the book, anyway, it's good.
