His problem I think is not so much morality as it is ethics. The process for each person to identify crucial details about society and technology, if obscured by the overwhelming interconnectedness of techno-capital institutions may as well throw those who start to take notice, depending on personality/upbringing, into something radically altered from the previous state of homo sapiens. Some are going to deal with the compartmentalization in cities and "over-socialization" by just rejecting any association they may have with anything past their fears and desires. Some of these people are going to take a glimpse, and are stupid enough to brandish analysis on their dim-witted observations, so of course you'll end up with guys like him. If you don't have the humility (among other things) to reject the certainty of your own conclusions you're better off serving some investment fiefdom. But regardless of what I think is "ethically trending," or how "bad it is," I'll keep trying to get the people around me to read philosophy.

I want to write a novel set in the Late Roman Republic.

What are the best books I could read to gain an in-depth knowledge of the period?
