Absolutely fantastic. The interstice of digital and physical perspective feels completely lucid. Seamless anachronisms blending forwards and backwards in both time and matter. It's been some time since I felt such fresh sci-fi, like I was reading Neuromancer for the first time again.
I read this. Will read it again. Are you aware that there is a play button feature with this piece that reads this story? Is this a new Substack feature or have you added this? I love having an audio option.
I went camping today. This story has been bouncing around in my head all day
Amazing story, though I’m definitely going to need to read it three more times to really squeeze everything out though.
Have you ever written a full novel by any chance?
A lot to think about, philosophically....
absolutely wonderful.
Beautifully written. What a great story. Thank you.
It's killing me I can't remember the Borges story you are riffing off of.
It was knives haunted by gauchos instead of portal guns with program ghosts....
Either way from one Borges fan to another, solid work!
I can't be the only one who noticed your neuorolink stories have been paying homage to Borges's deep cut gaucho short stories.

This feels like a lost Gene Wolfe story. Magnificent.
