Chapter 5: The Race for Immortality<br />

Fig. 5-3: Google under <strong>the</strong> loupe.<br />

This is, as usual, where nanobots come into <strong>the</strong> picture, being a crucial<br />

part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> immortality process, just as in most parts <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Singularity<br />

Movement. Once <strong>the</strong>se nanoparticles have taken over <strong>the</strong> bloodstream <strong>and</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> immune system, <strong>the</strong>re is really not much left <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> body that’s human.<br />

The bloodstream—<strong>the</strong> endocrine system—is a very important part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

soul/mind <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> human experience, <strong>and</strong> we sometimes notice that after<br />

blood transfusions, <strong>the</strong> person who receives blood from someone else might<br />

slightly change <strong>the</strong>ir personality afterward because blood has memories<br />

contained in <strong>the</strong> DNA <strong>of</strong> its previous owner. These memories will <strong>the</strong>n be<br />

transferred to <strong>the</strong> person who receives blood after an accident, etc. In a<br />

similar way, nanobots <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> SBC can easily change or erase our<br />

personalities.<br />

California Life Company (Calco) <strong>and</strong> Alphabet (is this a play on Alphabet<br />

Agencies, such as CIA <strong>and</strong> NSA?) are two companies that are funded by<br />

Google; both companies are doing life extension research, according to an<br />

article on <strong>the</strong> scientific recode.net website. 122 None <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se Google-funded<br />

companies are trying to solve <strong>the</strong> immortality issue, but <strong>the</strong>y are working<br />

on preventing diseases that usually affect <strong>the</strong> elderly. They are basically<br />

working on producing a pill that can extend life. Home Health <strong>and</strong> Hospice,<br />

for example, will be obsolete in <strong>the</strong> future, if <strong>the</strong> Movement succeeds with<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir plans.<br />
