Do you want to live forever?

At first, the Soul Catcher's companion system —the Soul Reader —might have trouble copying your thoughts in complete details．Even in 2030, we may still be struggling to understand how the brain is working inside, so reading your thoughts and understanding your emotions might not be possible．But these signals could be kept for the day when they can be transferred to silicon circuits to revitalize minds everlasting entities （永生实体）.Researchers can only wonder what it will be like to wake up one day and find yourself alive inside a machine．For people who choose not to live in silicon, semblance of immortality would not be as useless as they thought．People would know their lives would not be forgotten, but would be kept a record of the human race forever．And future generations would have a much fuller understanding of the past．History would not be controlled by just the rich and powerful, Hollywood stars, and a few thinkers in the upper society．
