You can’t develop tech to move intoto a computer. Although it’s a good book idea.
A kool-aid style cult where they convince their followers they will be “uploaded” once they hand over all their possessions. Then they just get shot in the head.
AI might do it, but I wouldn’t count that as us going there.

Thinking 'it is good' is a product of your consciousness. When there is no one to judge then there is no 'good'.

They have died, and reading notes around the area, they were part of a cult that believed they were going to be uploaded to and live in the Net forever. Somewhat related is the story of SOMA, which, spoilers ahead, involves you realising the earth on the surface has been wiped out, and putting faith in a person who's brain scan currently lives in a robot, to get you both into a simulated paradise that will be shot into space.
