Transition by Franklin

Before the 4th world war, the population on Earth was around 7 billion, the population on Mars around 529 million and rising. This is not counting the AI’s (Artificial Intelligence) and CBHLF’s (Computer Based Human Life Forms). AI software is a program run on a system with the ability to learn and evolve, CBHLF’s are anthropoids in various forms, including workers of all sorts such as the now famous movie bots and sex bots. All of the are now running on some form of AI program.
On Earth it is now easier to upload a human’s consciousness across the vastness of space than to actually send body and soul. It turns out to be a simple but irreversible process; electromagnetically stop all molecular motion. In effect instantly freezing the body and brain, while scanning the brain’s connections and bio-electric charges, then replicate them remotely in a suitable system. Millions have signed up for all ages, for the venture, and now religious wars have ensued over the supposed heresy of “soul versus body and mind,” the implications and ethics involved in the death of the body and transferring of the mind; needless to say, ethics went out the window when everyone’s survival was at stake.
Since the dawn of AI’s and CBHLF’s , companies are now willing to subsidize new mechanical bodies that feel no hunger, pain or thirst, with lifespans of thousands of years, and at any point one’s consciousness can be transferred to a new and improved body with sensory integration.
Those on Mars seem to have forgotten the rest of us...
