It's possible your only hope for saving billions of people is the lucky chance that someone has developed a useful mind-upload technology.

Then there are possibly some interesting politics - how many rights do these uploaded people have? Can they communicate with one another? Are they just records and most of them are dormant? If they're all able to interact with one another and whoever is still in meatspace - are there telepresence robots? Have the meat-authorities declared these beings as no longer people and/or property of whoever owns the recording media? Are some of these beings being used as serfs?
