With full automation, and using renewable energy, it will be very cheap to feed and house the peasants. I'm guessing it will become mainly about entertaining, so most will move into VR worlds, first through headsets, then BCI, and eventually uploading.

Ah yes the Ready Player One option. I suppose it's not entirely unlikely, part of the fun of being in charge is being able to boss around the peasants after all.

I doubt BCI will ever make sense, on a conceptual level it's still just copying and killing your biological self. AGI will likely solve aging way before that becomes viable.
