Another work of fiction on the topic is a science fiction novel byPhilip José Farmer called “To Your Scattered Bodies Go”.
Speaking about fiction, the method #2 could create minds indistinguishable from the minds of some fictional characters.
For example, one of the generated minds could believe that his name is Harry James Potter-Evans-Verres. He could have the right personality, and vivid memories of all the relevant events from the HPMOR. It will be quite a shock to learn that you’re nothing but a fictional character reconstructed from a Harry Potter fanfic by some galaxy-scale posthuman machine.
Although I’m pretty sure Harry would support such a project.
Thank you! Will read it.
