I wonder how all of these things could be achieved despite the increasingly widespread use of biometric tracking technology being connected to our faces or other aspects of our physiology. I can see hacking and selective digital profile construction being done to remove traces of one's previous digital presence then replace it with another, and I can see people cleverly forging highly sophisticated fake official identity documents to back up their new names. All of that sure, but if one's ID is both governmentally and by corporations being increasingly connected to the structure of their face, or their gait, or their eyes or some other feature that a public camera could conceivably read, then how will the near future even allow anyone to make any of these identity jumps (legal or illegal)?

I am hoping for brain transplant to become successful. You could switch with someone else and live as a brand new person. We are also printing organs and skin using 3D printers right now. I don't see why we won't be able to change people drastically by reprinting their unique biometrics and replace through surgery. If you don't have your old hand, then your fingerprints becomes useless. You can already order kits to fake biometrics authentication/creation. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/nov/15/fake-fingerprints-can-imitate-real-fingerprints-in-biometric-systems-research https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/nov/15/fake-fing... but this is worrying: https://venturebeat.com/2019/10/29/researchers-fool-person-detecting-ai-with-an-adversarial-t-shirt/ https://venturebeat.com/2019/10/29/researchers-fool-person-d...

  Reading this view of it, and that people are already creating work-arounds gladdens my heart ever so slightly. Few things are more deadening than being inescapably tied to a specific identity no matter what you do to escape it.
