Digital Immortality
Science Fiction数字永生
Mo Yucheng Said
When the consciousness is uploaded, the temperature of the body is being withdrawn from the nerve endings - is it the rebirth of consciousness opening its eyes in the data stream when the skin is reduced to ashes? Or is "self" dismantled into a code of 0s and 1s, gradually fading into destruction in an eternal simulation? No one can tell where the line is. Perhaps the so-called "rebirth" is just a more realistic digital cage for the dying self; or perhaps "destruction" itself is the beginning of consciousness breaking away from the shackles of the body and truly becoming "existence". When the last memory is encoded and archived, will you continue your life or bury yourself with your own hands?
