Or Upload, what happens when you run out of money to pay for the good afterlife subscription and microtransactions start bleeding you dry?

This sounds really good! I love Neal Stephenson, I’m a little surprised I haven’t heard of it, thanks!

Biological sex is for meatbags and historians. Get in the crystal computing matrix that’s in orbit, us and 300 billion consciousnesses are going to explore the universe.

Relativistic speed? Easy because our spaceship is the size of a pack of cards. Time an issue? Let’s adjust the rate of consciousness on the fly, speeding up and slowing down time perception. Hey what’s that cool neutron star?! Send a copy of my consciousness to explore it for 10,000 years then transmit the memories back when ready. For vacation, I was downloaded into a wolf body for two weeks. I ran wild with a pack of dogs on a planet untouched by human hands.

But what are you going to simulate, being a human? That’s like getting a Ferrari and driving around a horse track.

Is it too much to want space travel without transhumanism? No cyborgs or real ai just people traveling the stars living in the moment
