In this revised version of her 2008 article, Extropia refers to both
my meat and digital selves: “Suppose there were a hundred Eschatoon
Magics in SL, one of whom was controlled by Giulio Prisco, the rest
being controlled by software emulations of his mind…” and concludes
that “By the time mind uploading is generally available, people will
have long forgotten a time when a singular self was ’normal’.  They
will be used to multiple viewpoints, their brains processing
information coming not only from their local surroundings, but also
from the remote sensors and cyberspaces they are simultaneously linked
to. They will have already become familiar with mental concepts
migrating from the brain to spawn digital intermediaries within the
clouds of smart dust that surrounds them.”. Even if Extropia is
“currently running almost entirely on a pre-singularity meatbrain” she
does a good job at imagining a post-singularity Internet.
