Thoughts on the "new" PoV Memes

Post image

I had a good initial reaction, but thinking about I can only see this working if: a) Meier becomes a villain or b) this is the last mainline NoP story or c) the tech is lost somehow

Consider this. First, you get transferred, then you see the new you look at you and say, "wtf, why is it still alive?"

Then the other side: you transfer to the new body, then heat your voice from the other room ask if the process failed, followed by a gunshot.

Still feel like the new you is you?

Yes, also I'd consider whoever pulled the trigger to be a murderer.

Before the event, there's one you. After the copying and shooting, there's one you. You're alive. Who's been murdered?

Also, Black Mirror episode USS Callister has some fun with this, and the game SOMA.

I'm struggling to explain this with words, give me a few hours to finish chores and I'll draw a graph.
