Digital Immortality and the Future of Humanity
A new book by Martine Rothblatt, Co-CEO and Chair of United Therapeutics, envisions a mind clone — a digital copy of your mind outside your body — that can go on living after you are gone. But the book is not science fiction; it is a nonfiction book by someone who has been a technological innovator. After founding Sirius Satellite Radio, Rothblatt left to find a cure for her daughter’s rare disease. Today, United Therapeutics is focused on developing an endless supply of manufactured organs.
In a conversation with Wharton management professor Katherine Klein, Rothblatt discusses her work at United Therapeutics and her new book Virtually Human: The Promise and Peril of Digital Immortality.
