Just stumbled across a great book (sci-fi) written by "Greg Egan" titled
"Diaspora".

While it is definitely fiction and speculative at that it has some great
descriptions of both the creation of an artificial mind and the adjustment
struggle of a "flesher" as he is converted into a cyber-consciousness.

A very good read, both entertaining and enlightening about some possible
forms of future life. Available on amazon just search for the title. Check
it out.
