I don't aim to create a digital replica of myself, but I can't stop thinking about digital replicas. In this paper, Jurgis Karpus and I explore the extent to which one may say that slivers of the original person live on in their digital replica.

I've written a poem in memory of Dan Dennett, based loosely on Auden's elegy for W B Yeats and full of references to Dan's philosophy. I'd like to place it with a literary magazine, online or print. Can anyone suggest one that might like this kind of thing, please? (DM if you'd like to see the poem)
