I really enjoyed it. It’s refreshing to find a much more lighthearted take on many of the themes presented in material like Black Mirror, Westworld, the works of Phillip K Dick, The Matrix, so on and so forth.

> Nora’s father brings this up. I’m curious what exactly is the legal status of Upload? It doesn’t seem like they’re considered persons; Nathan’s estate went to his mom and Ingrid can simply delete him at will. How do finances work for the planned Uploads? Do they set up trusts before they die?

Yeah, I feel a lot of the legal, technical, economic, social and other details are left sort of vague, inconsistent and anachronistic, depending on how it fits in with the plot or what parallelism they want to make to the current world.
