All the carbon-fibre prosthetics, smart implants, 3D-printed replacement parts, days of leisure, robot love, long life, enhanced abilities, perhaps even the end of physical death, aren’t enough, separately or together, to remake a mind. If we are still violent, greedy, intolerant, racist, sexist, patriarchal, and generally vile, really, what is the point of being able to open your garage with your finger and run faster than a cheetah? That’s the vampire warning – maybe you do live forever, but your mindset is stuck in a medieval castle in Transylvania.
