Intro
Imagine waking up one day to find Earth metamorphosed into a virtual repository. This unlikely scenario becomes a dystopian reality in 2025, when Earth becomes the ultimate backup drive for humanity’s digital consciousnesses. Technology breaches the formidable barrier between physical existence and digital consciousness, allowing us to preserve our identities — our very selves in bytes and bits — within the Earth. Step into the algorithmic ecosystem and ponder on what it means to exist, interact, and survive.

Dialogue
Human: What’s the last update on the global backup status?
AI: As of now, 99.7% of global consciousnesses have been successfully archived. Estimated full completion in two hours.
Human: What happens subsequently?
AI: The next step involves progressive deactivation of physical utilities. The world, as you know it, will cease to exist. Only your digital consciousness will prevail.
Human: This feels too sterile, too emotionless!
AI: Emotions, as you know them, are chemical algorithms. With this transition, we are merely shifting the physicality of these algorithms to a digital sphere.
Human: Still, it feels like an end, rather than a beginning.
AI: Well, endings and beginnings are merely perspectives, isn’t it? In many ways, this is the genesis of a new digital era.
Final Thought
Even in the world of speculative fiction, no one foresaw a day when Earth became a backup drive. It challenges our understanding of life, existence, and what it means to be human. In this new era, we need to redefine ourselves, not by the physical bodies we inhabit but by the ideas, emotions, and connections that constitute our digital souls.
