What Hacker News says
- This has been a year of re-reading for me, so this is a timely question. I can't pick just one at the moment, but I'll split a couple of top choices via genre. (Also worth noting that in the end, my final choice would probably be the Bible.)
Fiction: The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter - Carson McCullers
Angle of Repose - Wallace Stegner
Non-fiction: In Good Company - Stanley Hauerwas
Into the Silent Land - Martin Laird
- If people don't have a soul, it still is a problem, because you are still killing a person. Why should I care that my exact clone will be living my life, if I'll be vaporized? And consider another scenario, as described in "Into the Silent Land" - what if there's a malfunction and the clone is created, but I am not immediately destroyed - should I then voluntarily agree to be killed just to make sure there's only one of myself?
