Overwhelmed by debt, Bob planned to end his life.


    He plugged in for one last time.


    A virtual advertisement popped up: ‘All your debts can be forgiven.’


    This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work.


    “How?”


    His question triggered a sales bot.


    “Thank you for your interest, Bob. We can relieve you of all your debt.”


    “Yes, like I asked: how?”


    “The Upload.”


    “The what?”


    “The Upload, Bob, in exchange for all debts paid, your consciousness gets uploaded, and we take ownership of your physical body.”


    “So I’d be stuck in a virtual limbo?”


    “Not at all, Bob. We’re developing androids right now. You can beta test one.”
