Schematic representation of a mind being uploaded from a human brain to a computer

Mind uploading—transferring an individual's personality to a computer—appears in several works of fiction.[1] It is distinct from the concept of transferring a consciousness from one human body to another.[2][3] It is sometimes applied to a single person and other times to an entire society.[4] Recurring themes in these stories include whether the computerized mind is truly conscious, and if so, whether identity is preserved.[5] It is a common feature of the cyberpunk subgenre,[6] sometimes taking the form of digital immortality.[3][7]
