----------------------------------------
Some nice ideas in this chapter. Although I prefer the idea that humanity is being turned into a gigantic hard disk, not to change it into a new being, but to just actually put humanity on storage for a while, for what purpose I dont know, maybe for aliens or whoever. A barren world with no life and only humanity's memories and consciousness frozen in that material is way more juicy than the old 'evolve humans into the next stage' plan that bad guys like to usually dish out these days.
