You would likely upload yourself into your own computer with a robot body and have yourself backed up in the cloud. If you ever break your robot, this cloud will be the new heaven.

You are just in stasis until plugged back in... Or dead if not. Either way, I am interested in the rights of a hypothetical somethingborg. Does it have the right to airtime? Also interested in the choices. Is it better to be in a virtual world or in the real world with a body? If I can upload, it's not long until I can download into someone else's body. I just need a constant source of brain deads. Been done to death in sci-fi, but still interesting.

It's down to technology not just the will of the communist party. For the first time in 4 millennia we are entering a society without a tangible currency (coins, cash)... therefore it's gonna be so much easier for institutions and governments to control, monitor and dictate people's lives if they so choose. Which is China, it appears they will.

how dare you suggest that the government that *checks notes* undertook the cultural revolution is just a little totalitarian

Which in itself is totally fair enough. People should read about this stuff. It was the "hurr durr you've not been to China so don't know what you are talking about" post that got my goat. Perhaps particularly because in the next few weeks I am going to China to give a lecture series on precisely these sorts of issues.

Yeah, I have been given a series of topics to speak on. One of which is "Government data and surveillance".
I understand I am going to be briefed to be very careful about the kinds of things I talk about during that session haha.
