    I mean, we ourselves are just electronic meat machines (with millions of years worth of fine-tuning).

    I’m sure that’ll happen at some point in the future, if we manage to not destroy ourselves and/or the planet by then.

      There’s a Sci-fi horror book I enjoyed, called “John Dies At The End”, that posits an alternative history in which computers were created from the brains of pigs.

      As a consequence, the civilization is heavily invested in harvesting organs in the same way that we’re invested in drilling for oil.
