Science fiction is kind of a new genre for me, but one that seemed suited to express some ideas that I was trying to think through. I was watching the series called “Transhumans” and found it to be a very thoughtful and provocative series on science and the many possible options it may present to us for changing us human beings from what we are, improving us so to speak, and making us better, stronger and healthier. Among the many ideas discussed is in this series is the possibility of “uploading” one’s consciousness into cyberspace where one could presumably live forever with increased consciousness and memory. I found the idea ridiculous on one hand, and very disturbing on the other. This story was taken from trying to think through one possible result.
