去读读 David Brin 的《Kiln People》（窑人）。他们制造短寿命的克隆体（包括记忆），然后克隆体之间打一场全面的战争。战争的赢家可以全盘通吃他们争夺的东西，而且没有真人……
Read Kiln People by David Brin. They make short lived clones of themself (including memory), then the clones fight a full war. The winner of the war gets to do whatever it was they were fighting about, and no real people…
……境况，对那些没有自身优势的人负有什么义务？既然永远不可能征得孩子的同意，那么选择生下一个享有或不享有这些优势的孩子，在伦理上又是怎样的？（David Brin 的《Kiln People》可能对社会的关注没那么多，但也同样引人入胜。那一本的核心是能够从短命的“克隆体”中制造和恢复记忆——如果世界上最好的心脏……你该如何构建一套经济体系？）

…was "Marooned in Realtime", which I contend is best read in the context of the other works in "Across Realtime": https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/167844.Across_Realtime For mind games, I submit "Kiln People" by David Brin. What if you could fork your consciousness into another body and rejoin periodically? "Kiln People" explores this idea in some remarkable ways. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/96478.Kiln_People
我觉得 David Brin 的小说《Kiln People》读起来挺有趣的，对人类意识复制相关思考的切入点也很有意思。他采用了一种完全不同的技术机制来实现复制，从而提供了一个不同的视角……
I found David Brin's novel Kiln People to be an fun enough read and an interesting take on thoughts related to human consciousness copying. He uses an entirely different technical mechanism to get the copying, thus allowing a different angle…

……到达那里所需的步骤。我的公交卡同时也是我的出行历史记录。我刚刚就这事联系了我的联邦众议员和参议员。如果我们能阻止这一切，我会很意外，但我们总得试试。想看个有趣的视角可以读读 David Brin 的《Kiln People》，他早就预见到了这个问题，另外也可以读读《Transparency》
…required to get there. My bus pass is also a history of my travels. I just contacted my us rep and senators about this. I would be surprised if we can stop this, but we should try. Read David Brin's "Kiln People" for an interesting take, he foresaw this issue, also read "Transparency"
