Without our shells we are not us.
But I too have long thought that intelligent, self-reproducing and
self-sustaining machines may be the next significant phase of evolution -
just that it will no longer involve us. We are rather temporary and fragile,
after all.

You've read the Stephen Hawking view on this, of course?
(I don't mind being temporary and fragile: it's always been a lot of fun
- so far.)
