The ability to be able to copy or upload the mind has been discussed much in science fiction, and increasingly in science in recent years. Today we will examine many additional uses of Mind Uploading, along with how it works and some of its implications for concepts like Consciousness, Identity, and Individuality.
We will also explore how these themes appear in Dennis E. Taylor's newest novel, The Singularity Trap, our Book of the Month. Use my link http://www.audible.com/isaac or text "ISAAC" to 500-500 to get a free book including a copy of "The Singularity Trap" and a 30-day free trial of Audible.
