This is an enjoyable sub-category of science fiction that is interesting to pursue.
Two works that come to mind:
- the videogame Soma
- "Accelerando," by Charles Stross
- rtkwe 2y agoThere's also The Prestige which comes at it from an angle kind of like Soma but with a 'flawed' teleporter. Walkaway by Cory Doctorow also has a big theme of digital simulations with the added twist that you may have to have your cognition altered to not freak out about being in a simulation and some weird moral implications that has about using uploaded humans. Fall, or Dodge in Hell by Neil Stephenson also does a lot with the idea of simulated minds and even the kind of brain scan booting directly related to this article. It even puts a funny bow on the whole Baroque Cycle/Cryptonomicon semi shared universe with an appearance and story for the mysterious Enoch Root.
