Ett par intressanta artiklar i ämnet medvetande och science fiction:
http://www.damaris.org/content/content.php?type=5&id31

"The issue of the nature of consciousness has been a recurrent theme in 
science fiction since the beginning of the genre - whether exploring the
 possibilities of conscious, self-aware machines, the question of 
whether or not aliens would have the same experience of consciousness as
 humans or the feasibility of downloading human consciousness into 
machines or other organisms or expanding it onto other levels of 
existence. By incorporating fictional technology which can make just 
about anything possible, science fiction can provide the vehicle for 
interesting philosophical thought experiments"

"A popular idea now-a-days is the notion of the ghost in the machine. 
From scientific articles to entertainment, this reference is to the idea
 of consciousness. Once again, the study of consciousness is occupying 
the minds of science and science fiction.
Just after the turn of the century, science basically abandoned the 
study of consciousness per se’ on the grounds that it was too ambiguous 
and non-quantifiable. However, the development of artificial 
intelligence, so-called thinking computers, interactive virtual reality 
environments and non-local action, or action at a distance, has placed 
the study of consciousness in the fore front of many minds."
Frågan om jagmedvetande har länge varit central i sf-genren. Vi har Asimovs 
robotar och Clarkes HAL och Heinleins Mike.  Jag hyser inget tvivel om att 
någon dag bygga en dator som kommer att klara turingtesten, och som får ses som 
jagmedveten. Det torde dock bli svårare än många tror och ta sin tid.
