I have not read this for like 20 years. It's still as good and as absolutely batshit as I remember. A lot of commenters here talk about how its "problematic" or "squick", but that's mostly the point: this isn't a story about the Singularity, even though the PI is a main character in the cast, instead, it is a story about what happens to morality if death is no longer achievable from the perspective of a character that takes it to very extreme. If you're uncomfortable with the story, fundamentally, you're uncomfortable with what humans can do/could do/have done with insufficient moral constructs in place. Which... ultimately is the correct response, I guess? The story doesn't hold any punches, it doesn't hold your hand, how you feel about after you finish it is up to you.
