Someone makes a copy of your consciousness, runs millions of ads by this copy until it perfectly predicts your responses to various advertising strategies. Fast forward 2 months and you are broke.

An oppressive government makes a copy of your consciousness, tortures it. Learns everything. You never know it happened.

Then you (origin you in meat body) will die anyway but your digital copy will survive.
Only if a man named Noah scans your brain and stores it in a secure underground bunker to be found after a nuclear holocaust.
I feel like I should know this reference but I don't, and I'd love to explore it more

(If you made it up I will be forced to feed it into the OpenAI playground to read the rest of the story...)

I made it up. I like the idea of taking Biblical stories and putting them into a sci-fi setting and trying to make a believable scenario. Like black mirror meets religion. Thanks for the message!
