Редактирование: Digital resurrection (раздел)

=== Reconstructed facsimiles ===
The 21st century is making a kind of informational/cultural immortality easier than ever. No longer will you need to be the most famous or most powerful for your information to be captured, information from social media, digital recordings and other records could potentially be enough to create a passable facsimile of yourself in the future. Examples in fiction include a romantic partner in [[Black Mirror]]'s 'Be Right Back'<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Be_Right_Back</ref> and famous philosopher Alan Watts in [[Her]].

Information stored about the average person from the digital age and beyond presents a wealth of material which can be simulated into a [[sentience|sentient]] or near-sentient consciousness, capable of operating in a biological or non-biological substrate.

In the future, it make be possible to construct an artificial consciousness imbued with many of the memories, personality and thinking of the original which could come very close to emulating the original. For this reason [[Ray Kurzweil]] is storing many of his deceased father's possessions in anticipation of this time.<ref>[http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/futurist-ray-kurzweil-bring-dead-father-back-life/story?id=14267712 Futurist Ray Kurzweil Says He Can Bring His Dead Father Back to Life Through a Computer Avatar]</ref>

The [[Terasem Movement]]'s [[CyBeRev]]<ref>http://www.cyberev.org/</ref> and [[LifeNaut]].<ref>https://www.lifenaut.com/</ref> projects aim to formalise personal digital information capture for this purpose.
