The video game SOMA touches on a similar topic of brain scans, "copying" your brain somewhere else (while leaving the old one still around) and general humanity-ness.
Its a horror game but I would absolutely recommend it as a bit of a descent into this stuff

- k__ 6y agoPretty good game and it wasn't too scary. But I have to admit I found the whole premise better when I played it than when I thought about it afterwards.
- gostsamo 6y agoAltered Carbon has something like that as a concept. A person who must be on two places at the same time and spawns a copy.
- the_af 6y agoSurprisingly enough, I found SOMA's approach is more profound than Altered Carbon's. SOMA really delves into what makes you you, and what happens when there two yous.
- ncmncm 6y agoMainly it means somebody else can spend your money and can get you in trouble you can never get out of. Imagining the other is yourself, and not just somebody else with all your memories who looks like you (whether you are the original or the copy) is the first mistake everybody makes, thinking about it.
