Part 6/10:
Imagining a future with mind backups necessitates exploring practical considerations: could we faithfully replicate human consciousness, and how would we manage these backups? Estimates suggest the human mind could be compressed into ten to ten petabytes of digital data, which may seem vast but is manageable as technology continues to advance.
A hypothetical scenario might involve "Steve," a 22nd-century individual equipped with nanotechnology enabling continuous monitoring and backup of his mind. With daily updates transmitted to secure locations, individuals like Steve could maintain multiple redundancies, rendering themselves incredibly hard to eliminate completely.
