Not just 'us against the robots'
It’s not just ‘us against the robots’, it’s about placing the human consciousness in a box. They think your being can be distilled down into a set of memories, writings and DNA.
It’s the stuff of “Avatar“, placing your consciousness in a genetically created package- the body of a Na’vi. It’s the stuff of “Brainstormâ€, recording human memories to be played back and experienced by others.
And it’s the stuff of “Flatliners†where researchers explored and recorded the death experience by being killed and revived.
And yes, the stuff of Frankenstein.
