I'm actually a secret fan of the "Urban Legend" series.
This is one of the books that I read quite a lot from the first work to the latest work, the 7th work.
At first, it seemed like a common urban legend, but
I feel like I'm getting beyond that frame with each passing episode. 
For example, if you say that smartphones are monitoring people,
A few years ago, people would have asked, "Is your head okay?"
Considering the accusations made by Edward Snowden, I think this may not be a strong mistake.
This latest work roughly states that ``human memories and emotions can be mechanized.''
It's the world of video games.
``Urban legends'' and ``universe'' are surprisingly closely related.
Speaking of space, it's science fiction movies.
Recently, his works include Star Wars, Star Trek, 2001: A Space Odyssey, 12 Monkeys, Minority Report,
There are so many science fiction movies out there,
Among them, ``The Matrix'' has a shocking impact that makes it hard to believe that it is a movie made 20 years ago.
I was excited when the new product was announced around fall last year.
In Japan, when it comes to anime, there are Space Battleship Yamato and Captain Harlock.
I especially love Galaxy Express 999, which is my bible.
In this Urban Legend 7, ``One day it will be possible to transfer your memories to the cloud and replace your body.''
This may sound like a far-fetched story, but
Anyone can have a smartphone,
Nowadays, you can do most things with just one smartphone.
I don't think anyone could have predicted that 20 years ago,
Personally, I think it's good to have dreams like that.
So if that story becomes reality,
Somewhere in the mind-bogglingly distant universe, several light years or tens of light years away,
There is also a possibility of encountering life forms similar to those on Earth.
While the human body would only last for about 100 years at most,
If we could transfer our memories to the cloud, we could retain our consciousness forever.
So when you meet a new life form, you can simply switch bodies.
Furthermore, if this technology really works,
It is possible to preserve modern memories and live hundreds of years in the future.
In other words, you might find yourself in a world like Blade Runner or The Fifth Element.
That means we can go far into the future.
Maybe Doraemon even exists in reality.
If a story like this is considered an urban legend after all, then that's it.
Considering the evolution of technology, I think it's good to have dreams.
We could live on the moon and Mars,
Like in the Gundam world, the number of people born in colonies is increasing, etc.
Personally, I would like to have more opportunities to go not only to Earth but also to space.
I think the future will become more and more interesting.
Will we live long enough for such technology to spread to ordinary people?
But maybe there's a chance for the kids!
Reading these books can be surprisingly interesting, so
It's up to you whether you think it's "frivolous" or not...
