Contemplating Oblivion, by Keith Wiley. This is the first novel by one of J’s childhood best friends, with interesting characters engaging in creative activities in gorgeous places throughout the galaxy. The premise is that Earth invented a mind-upload technology about a million years previously, such that people can now live essentially forever (they don’t even need to sleep) and can experience all sorts of extraordinary things. They can even create extra versions of themselves to go live other lives then eventually, if they want, merge back again into a single individual. The only problem is that eventually the universe will end. What, if anything, can be done about that? Our main character is devoting her life and creative energies to solving the problem. After J’s read the book too then I’ll probably write up a proper review for Amazon and Storygraph.
