Given the current way things run in the world with balance of power I can’t imagine immortality being anything good. Altered Carbon explores this concept and so

  I wouldn't call altered carbon the same as traditional life extension ideas. But what puzzles me most is assuming we could live 1000 years, after 500 years would it still be you? I'm in my 40s and tend to forget parts of my earlier life, how much memories for far earlier days would my brain would retain after half a millennium?

    For a low low cost of 200$, you can buy a lifetime subscription to Google Glass Mk 2 which records your entire life as you experience it, trains a Chat GPT model on it and allows you to query your own life experiences instantly. I am joking of course, but with the rise of the internet and digital media, I think it will become easier (and more common) to rely on storage other than our own memory to keep track of our lives. From personal experience, small things like phone numbers and birthdays have already moved from my memory to digital storage and I am not sure if it is a bad thing overall.
