Parts of it remind me a lot of the black mirror episode where a person's upload is trapped in a "cookie" to do menial task automation. Particularly the part where an upload can be run a multiples of hundreds, or thousands of times real world wall clock time for "conditioning".

  A lot of the early episodes were really stomaches turning, and that's what made the series special. It started in the very first episode with an absolutely disgusting scenario that, none the less, was nearly 100% believable in how every step of its ridiculousness went down. It wasn't stomach turning because of the pig thing, it was stomach turning because we knew, deep down, that we were exactly who it depicted us as.

There's also 'Source Code' https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0945513/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0945513/ Not fully virtual, though. Just the badly maimed torso and head of a victim of a terrorist attack on a train, brain wired to systems, stimulating the last working remains to replay the last 8 minutes over and over again. To gather information and reconstruct 'whodunnit'.

  Most of what I remember from source code, the film, is the cringe worthy Bing product placement.

    There's a lot of products placement that nowadays are obsolete, but the story is still good.

    So... feeling a little bit like a Cylon Raider? ( BSG - Cavil's 'I don't want to be human' monologue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VhqsFRTTTo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VhqsFRTTTo 1m48sec ) Bobiverse came so often into my peripheral vision, yet I haven't found the time to dive in, so far.

      It's more an engineer finds himself installed into a self replicating interstellar probe, and how he overcomes problems with an engineers mindset.
