Not quite to the same level of technical complexity, but this short story about the horrors of mind upload is formatted like a future-Wikipedia article [0]. qntm, its author, is a great source of... outsider art science fiction? His written work feels similar to the movie Primer, which was created by engineers without much formal training in filmmaking; namely, it's impressive and imaginative and well-polished, but obviously without the mien and certain stylistic elements of those who learned the "rules" of the medium by rote rather than derivation and imitation.

- selfhoster11 4y agoThis story is one of the most horrifying things ever. I’d rather die than get mind-uploaded into a VC-backed immortality machine. (Of course it helps that I believe that there’s an afterlife - but even if I didn’t, I’m likely to make the same choice)
