However, in the fever dreams of transhumanists, once we can accurately simulate consciousness, we can simulate *our own* consciousness. Then we can "upload" it to The Cloud, and live forever in digital heaven.

This is, as Cory Doctorow (@pluralistic) and Charles Stross (@cstross) put it in the title of their co-written sci fi novel, The Rapture of the Nerds.
