The document discusses two narratives: 'Stellar Nomads,' which describes the last free humans living in space after Earth was taken by corporations, and 'The Artificial Soul,' which explores ethical dilemmas surrounding consciousness duplication and identity. The Nomads, who have never seen Earth, choose freedom over servitude, while the ethical challenges in the second narrative include questions about the rights of digital minds and the nature of identity. Both narratives highlight the complexities of existence in a post-human era.

Dilemmas in a Post-Human Era

Can you sentence an AI to death? What rights do digital minds
possess?
Ethical challenges explored:
•Ownership of memories
•Conscious rights of copied individuals
