Our digital technologies have inspired new ways of thinking about
old religious topics. Digitalists include computer scientists,
transhumanists, singularitarians, and futurists. Writers such as
Moravec, Bostrom, Kurzweil, and Chalmers are digitalists. Although
they are usually scientists, rationalists, and atheists,
digitalists they have worked out novel and entirely naturalistic
ways of thinking about bodies, minds, souls, universes, gods, and
life after death. Your Digital Afterlives starts with three
digitalist theories of life after death. It examines personality
capture, body uploading, and promotion to higher levels of
simulation. It then examines the idea that reality itself is
ultimately a system of self-surpassing computations. On that view,
you will have infinitely many digital lives across infinitely many
digital worlds. Your Digital Afterlives looks at superhuman bodies
and infinite bodies. Thinking of nature in purely computational
terms has the potential to radically and positively change our
understanding of life after death.
