X-Message-Number: 12969 From: Brent Thomas <> Subject: uploading and mind seeds Date: Mon, 20 Dec 1999 09:18:36 -0500 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.
