If I'm ever astronomically lucky enough to be revived it will probably be as a upload. I don't think Mr. Jupiter Brain will allow stupid and primitive humans to live at the same level of reality as his precious hardware, he's bound to be a bit squeamish about that; it would be like us allowing a monkey to run around an operating room during brain surgery. If he revives me I will probably live in a virtual world behind a heavy firewall, but that's OK, I'll never know the difference unless he tells me. If Mr. Jupiter Brain is kind (and he probably is or he wouldn't be reviving people) and knows that a person would be upset if he knew he was living in a virtual world he just won't tell him, but he might tell me because he knows the thought wouldn't bother me.
