Hey everyone! Time for the nightly update. 

I’d like to talk to you about the origins for the technology behind Uploading. There are really two pieces of technology at play: Cloning and the Uploading itself. Cloning is well known, a technology we’re only beginning to explore here in the real world. Uploading seems to be something in our near future as well. Scientists in 2013 managed a "mind meld" between two rats, transmitting thoughts across two continents. Using computers to take one being’s thoughts and transmit them into another consciousness places it technologically adjacent to Uploading. Instead, take your thoughts and put them into storage until needed.

Those are the two technologies that are tech adjacent to the story here and which I’m using to inform the science.

We’ve hit 34 preorders, thanks in no small part to Diane, who’s one of our two readers at Commissioner level! We’re only 16 away from my releasing Chapter 2. Think we can hit that by this weekend?

You can help support the book and generate more interest by posting a recommendation both here on Inkshares as well as on Facebook or Twitter. Those small reviews definitely help.

See you all tomorrow night!
