Got reminded of Erich Fromm's - Automaton Conformity:

"The person who gives up his individual self and becomes an automaton, identical with millions of other automatons around him, need not feel alone and anxious any more. But the price he pays, however, is high; it is the loss of his self." [1]

Extract from “Fear of Freedom” (1941)
