Digital immortality

"Digital immortality" as a book category explores the technological, ethical and emotional ramifications of preserving or extending human identity, memory and consciousness through digital means. It includes speculative and near‑future fiction about mind uploading, AI replicas, memory backups, virtual afterlives and legacy avatars, as well as nonfiction that examines the science, philosophy, law and business behind those efforts. Stories in this category probe questions of identity, consent, grief, inequality, data ownership and what it means to be "alive" when personalities can be copied, altered or resurrected; they range in tone from hard science fiction and techno‑thrillers to intimate literary dramas and cautionary parables. Whether optimistic, cautionary or ambivalent, the books focus on how societies, relationships and selfhood change when mortality becomes a technical problem rather than solely a human one.
