AI and the Afterlife: Is Mind Uploading the Future? (Black Mirror Review)

Would you create a digital version of yourself that could live on after you die? What about an interactive avatar of a deceased loved one? Or uploading your mind to a super-computer?

These are all questions explored by Dr Nathan Mladin in his review of three television/film plots that centre around the topic of mind uploading and transhumanism.

In this review Nathan looks at:
Black Mirror's Season 2 hit 'Be Right Back'
'The Virtual Llama' by @owlinspace
And the hollywood blockbuster 'Transcendence' (2014) starring Johnny Depp, Rebecca Hall, Morgan Freeman, Paul Bettany and Cillian Murphy.
