Theory of Forms

Although medical technology in 3301 has greatly prolonged human lifespans, true immortality still eludes scientists.

However, Sim Archive curators on Antal have begun showing the galaxy how Utopians view the subject in a series of recent seminars. Curator Gol Deleuze explained the archives role:

"Utopian transcendental technology exists to preserve the thoughts and memories of an individual that would otherwise be lost when they die. Stored in the Sim Archive, neural patterns drive generated simulacrum that allow us direct access to our predecessor’s lives and teachings."

Although seen by many as benign, some academics have voiced concern over the role of the technology. Noted theorist Lev Baudrillard writing for the Zandu Science Journal remarked "How can we trust this perversion of reality is not distorted to fit Utopian doctrine?"

In a later statement, Deleuze responded to the criticism: "To tamper with the stored information is to desecrate the memories of the individual they came from. We preserve, nothing more."
