Yup, made me think about Altered Carbon "stacks" too. Stacks in the world of Altered Carbon are effectively bio-mechanical hard drives that store a real time updating copy of your consciousness. If you "die" you can always be put in a new body as long as the Stack is in tact. Effectively creating near, perceived immortality. Life expectancy in this world is hundreds of years rather than 60-80. Technically your organic brain still ceases if you die or are killed. No consciousness transfer is happening here, but to any other person "you" still carries on because all memories and feelings up till the moment of death are preserved in the Stack.

In typical dystopian fashion, the world is depicted as being horrifically capitalist with no social safety nets or help for the less fortunate. New bodies to have your Stack put into become products and what kind of body your Stack may get put into depends on your wealth and class. The poor get put into unwanted, ailment afflicted, elderly, disabled, etc, bodies. While the rich can afford the best bodies that are more geared toward youth and physical strength/prowess, and the uber wealthy can afford to clone and print their own bodies.

Any life extending or life re-starting tech will always go this way long as our society is how it is. So it's kind of tough to be excited about or be hopeful about it (which sucks because as a lover of sci-fi, i love this stuff as concepts in a vacuum).
