Delos may have Westworld as the face of their company, but there's a lot more going on behind-the-scenes.

The theme park may provide a bit of fun and bring in revenue, but it's not the company's priority - there's something bigger in their plans, only hinted at during the course of the season.

What, exactly, are they really after? A popular theory is that they are looking for ways to upload consciousness and 'live forever'. It's something we've seen sci-fi attempt before, both unsuccessfully (Transcendence) and successfully (Black Mirror), so it wouldn't be too much of a leap. Is that what Delos are up to, or is there something else?
