Moravec also wrote a book much along these lines in the late 80's (Mind Children). If I recall correctly, a good part of it was also about the idea of "transferring" human consciousness into a machine "host". The idea being that a sufficiently advanced computer would be able to somehow make sense of a human's neuron mappings and then "continue running" as that individual. It was provocative back then, and still is! The idea of having my consciousness continue its existence indefinitely in somebody's kubernetes cluster, however, seems like a very special vision of hell.
