Nine
years ago, I wrote a short story about people uploading their consciousness to
computers and becoming a new species. At
the time, I knew a guy who – out of boredom, or something – was teaching
himself Latin. I asked him for help in
naming this new species. What he came up
with was Homo narratus, which he said
meant “man recorded” since the Romans didn’t have a word for uploaded. Anyway, I’m working on a collection of short
stories and I’m including that one. What
I would like to know is does Homo narratus
make sense, or is there an even better way to phrase it. I probably haven’t talked to that guy in like
eight years, and it would be a weird way to reconnect to just ask how his Latin
is. So if you know Latin, I’d really
appreciate your comments.
