If a dozen people I have encountered in my life remember me when they're that age, I would be surprised. My parents and siblings probably will, maybe my ex-spouse, two or three people that have been close friends, and a few former coworkers.

I'm mostly a loner though because I have a very difficult time making and keeping social connections.

I'm just hoping I remember who I am when I'm 90.

None. Humanity isn't going to last another 40 years.

If they can still remember anything, a few dozen or so.

definitely more than 20, I don't know if more than 100; i travel a lot, and humans mostly cultivate relationships through proximity.

My grandparents certainly will. It's only about five more years. My parents too, probably.
