Even if we don't self-destruct, we will likely have evolved into something else completely different by then. Or maybe a million years from now they will keep some humans (based on present-day DNA) in a museum exhibit somewhere. Or maybe that's us.

- chamomeal 1y agoThat was freaking awesome
- aftbit 1y agoEverything by qntm is phenomenal if a bit rough around the edges. Fine Structure was one of my favorites, along with There is No Antimemetics Division, which is now being published as a proper book!

- j_bum 1y agoLoved this story. Although, *spoiler*, my mind is still having a hard time understanding how the characters could exist before their simulation started. Did they just not realize that their reality was sped up before the moment where the simulations began?
