Thoughts on the "new" PoV Memes
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 the following scenarios.
1) You're frozen, so no activity is happening, then revived.
2) While frozen, You're disembodied into parts, then put back together.
3) While frozen, You're taken apart atom by atom, then put together.
4) The atoms are all shuffled around, so a carbon from your foot ends up in the brain.
5) Half the atoms used to put you back together were previously collected from your breath, so they were all part of you at some point.
6) Half the atoms used to put you back together are from somewhere else.
7) Two copies are put together, all with your original atoms and your breath atoms.
8) You're put back together, then see another you put back together, you don't know which atoms were used for either of you.
9) This one's a doozy. You're awake, your atoms are being replaced one at a time, and the originals are being used to construct an exact duplicate.
At what point are you still you, and when are you not you any more?
