The Future of Death (part 4)


Stephen Hawking has expressed the belief that we will someday be able to upload the human mind into a computer, and movies like "Transcendence" suggest the same. The Japanese anime "Serial Experiments Lane" offers a disturbing landscape of an internet populated by human consciousness, where people consider the internet as an evolution of human existence. The recent movie, "Chappie," explores the concept of AI and human consciousness linking through a computer and moving to a robotic avatar. Is existence capable of being distilled into bits of data? Some believe it is the ultimate frontier and the pathway to immortality.
