Depends on the hardness of the tpu. You don’t have to dive into full flexibility

Yeah, but the concept also has a LOT of space to play in but most writers play it safe. Way too many just treat is as a handwavy checkpoint system and move on with the plot they care about.

Soma (video game, not a book) was a really horrifying dive into being able to save and upload a consciousness. Not a lot of stories try to dive into how do you know if a “copy” of you is truly a copy. It’s like a Turing test on steroids trying to figure this out. Being able to practically test just how different someone can be from a single different event.

It’s one of the things I really enjoyed about the Bobiverse series (although apparently later on they added the idea of a soul, which just kinda seems like a cop out to me)

In their defense, there are no stupid questions in this community.

…Although yeah that is hella repetitive. If I’m looking at their history right they haven’t talked about a single other thing for the last 3 months. Not even comments or a random

Same here, Manga and lemmy. I’ve been slowly trying to add discord to the rotation but I find it taxing. It’s so hard to keep track of which friend group is which and I can’t label servers with my own label
