Put a man’s brain in a women’s body and you got a Heinlein book.
Actually the list has only one insignificant Heinlein book. No good list is complete without I Will Fear no Evil and Stranger in a Strange Land.

I am fascinated by the concept of consciousness upload.
Imagine the ability to upload yourself to another body or a synthetic organism.
Recently in the series “Picard” Picard dies but is uploaded into an identical construct.
Would that then be still a human?
“Altered Carbon” the book not the series explores this concept as well.
And who is to say, perhaps we have already done it and we live in a computer program, how could you tell if the program was good enough?
It’s not my review, it was Andrej Karpathy’s review. I actually loved the 3 body series: mostly for the little gems dotted throughout which had some mindblowing imaginative concepts. I enjoyed the story overall, but understand others have noted some flaws. But the imagination shown throughout already sold me.
What fascinated me about the 3-body problen was the implications of the nano wire, Arthur C Clarke had something similar in Fountains of paradise.
With that kind of technology, used not just for slicing and dicing ships, spaceflight would be common
