<span class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">> </span>The sanctum sanctorum of Doctor Strange, has always enthralled me. I love the idea of people having studies/sanctum sanctorums, to
work, study, play, be creative, and have privacy from the world, in a
special and tucked away environment. Having grown up on comic books, I
remember how various heroes and villains had lairs and places of
contemplation and sanctuary. I assume that in future eras, transhumans and posthumans
will continue to have this desire, and will have some utterly amazing
places to retire to, and work on their goals and dreams.</i></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font size="4">There is something like that in Dennis E Taylor's audiobook "<span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">We Are Legion (We Are Bob)" the first book in his Bobverse series:</span></font></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><br></span></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><a href="https://www.audible.com/author/Dennis-E-Taylor/B010ETTBJC?pf_rd_p=ae76b2bb-e63d-4a67-b357-dab3dee05ca1&pf_rd_r=7EJ2Z6SX0Y98X3AG51Y9&ref=a_lib_c4_libItem_author_6"><font size="4">We Are Legion (We Are Bob)</font></a><br></span></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style=""><font size="4"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Bob dies, gets frozen, gets unfrozen, and then gets uploaded into a computer running a starship capable of near light speed and with the capacity to make copies of itself.
