Not sure how I stumbled upon this but I’m glad I did. The first “scene” perhaps felt more like a filler, but this argument they’re having about the choices made… and an uploadable soul… that caught me. Curious to see how this develops ->

Really enjoyed this. Great first line. Interesting premise.

I often think about digital uploading of minds, which raise major philosophical quandaries, and I'm eager to see the issue tackled from a new angle. Personally, I think a perfect digital recreation of my brain would constitute immortality - but also think it is much harder than usually imagined, and essentially impossible in principle.

Thank you so much for reading!! 💜

And very true! The concept has always baffled me. It’s wild to think we could live to see it become reality one day 🤔

I hope you want typos pointed out, like I do.

"making the patient's rather large family, for this day and age, to rush"

Looks like it used to be "causing to rush"; now it's "making to rush". The "to" seems wrong.

Enjoying it but can't turn my editor off.... Back to reading!

I love this as the start of a serial! Looking forward to reading more about Sister Lucia - I like her already. I always love a story that has a unique belief system.
