In last week's
posts ("The Future of Death"), I talked about how efforts
are being made to battle the effects of aging or even how some seek
to essentially gain immortality through technology. One of the posts
mentioned Stephen Hawking's belief that someday we will be able to
upload our consciousness to computers. A reader sent me an email
saying that he doesn't believe something like this will ever be
possible, and an interesting discussion developed. If our mind, our
state of being, is simply electrical impulses across a complex neural
landscape (our brain), shouldn't we be able to reproduce or transfer
that somehow? Or is there more to human existence?
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
