A world where each and every person still lives would be pretty bizarre. That's around 107 billion people.

Such a world is utterly dominated by the worlds in which you are kept conscious, but nobody else is. If QI keeps you conscious for a billion years, you'll be alone.

(I keep typing "you are kept alive", but that's not the promise. Only conscious. Being "alive" will be extraneous to that.)
