That's orders of magnitude less than the information content of your brain. The reconstructed version would be like an identical twin leading his own life who coincidentally reenacts your IRC chats and reads your books.
Sure. What about it?
Your surviving friends would find it extremely creepy and frustrating. Nobody would want to bring you back.
If I had surviving friends, then optimally the process would also extract their memories for the purpose. If we have the technology to reconstruct people like that, then surely we also have the technology to read memories off someone's brain, though it might require their permission which might not be available.
If they gave their permission, though, they wouldn't be able to tell a difference since all their memories of me were used in building that copy.
