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.’

“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.”
