Digital Clones: Will Humans Have Virtual Versions in the Future? The Rise of Our Second Selves

Digital Clones: Will Humans Have Virtual Versions in the Future? The Rise of Our Second Selves Introduction: The Beginning of a New Human Era Imagine a world where a version of you continues to exist, speak, learn, and interact even when you are offline — or even after you are gone.
