Somewhere in a research lab, your digital afterlife is being built.
The dream of mind uploading—preserving human consciousness in data form—is moving from sci-fi myth to technical prototype.

AI-driven “griefbots” already mimic deceased loved ones using voice and chat data. Companies like HereAfter AI and Replika create conversational replicas so accurate that families hold digital reunions with lost relatives.

The next frontier is whole-brain emulation: scanning, mapping, and simulating a mind at atomic precision.
Scientists argue it’s theoretically possible—if consciousness emerges from neural computation, it can, in principle, be copied.

But this vision cuts deep. If your mind lives on in a server, are you still alive—or is it just a ghost wearing your memories?
Digital immortality blurs the oldest boundary in philosophy: the line between existence and simulation.
When we finally conquer death, will it still feel like living?
