Power. Money. The struggle for dominance. He would find these not dissimilar to the ancient plays he probably attended in Athens.

Welcome to the H+ Cafe. Hope you find in a very enjoyable way to learn about possible futures. If you haven't already done so, you might browse H+ magazine. About the best single volume introduction to the Transhumanist movement is probably Ray Kurzweil's "The Singularity is Near". You may also wish to browse Twine, as it contains LOTS of material related to this topic.
