We can imagine a future society in which there is endless
   competition for positions of prestige an power. But no more than a
   very few people will ever reach the top, where the only real power is
   (see end of paragraph 163). Very repellent is a society in which a
   person can satisfy his needs for power only by pushing large numbers
   of other people out of the way and depriving them of THEIR opportunity
   for power.
   
   176. Once can envision scenarios that incorporate aspects of more than
   one of the possibilities that we have just discussed. For instance, it
   may be that machines will take over most of the work that is of real,
   practical importance, but that human beings will be kept busy by being
   given relatively unimportant work. It has been suggested, for example,
   that a great development of the service of industries might provide
   work for human beings. Thus people will would spend their time
   shinning each others shoes, driving each other around inn taxicab,
   making handicrafts for one another, waiting on each other's tables,
   etc. This seems to us a thoroughly contemptible way for the human race
   to end up, and we doubt that many people would find fulfilling lives
   in such pointless busy-work. They would seek other, dangerous outlets
   (drugs, , crime, "cults," hate groups) unless they were biological or
   psychologically engineered to adapt them to such a way of life.
   
   177. Needless to day, the scenarios outlined above do not exhaust all
   the possibilities. They only indicate the kinds of outcomes that seem
   to us mots likely. But wee can envision no plausible scenarios that
   are any more palatable that the ones we've just described. It is
   overwhelmingly probable that if the industrial-technological system
   survives the
