About this ebook
Silas Vance examines the scientific, psychological, and philosophical debates surrounding mind uploading, digital identity, artificial consciousness, memory preservation, neural emulation, and the possibility of extending human existence into computational environments.
The book asks what would remain of the self if memories, personality, preferences, and patterns of thought could be copied or reconstructed outside the brain. Would such a system preserve a person — or merely create a convincing simulation?
Blending popular psychology, behavioral science, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and speculative non-fiction, Ghost in the Cloud investigates the boundaries between mind, body, identity, and machine.
Volume III of The Post-Human Chronicles turns from the transformation of human biology and algorithmic power toward the most intimate frontier of all: the possibility that consciousness itself may one day become independent of flesh.
