Well, that could go lots of ways. Maybe some rich trillionaire buys you and spawns you into an endless horror simulation. They might be into torture and get off on it.

But if the future can reverse the light cone, nobody is immune to that fate.

Who knows what the future holds. These are just sci-fi flights of fancy.

I remember learning about ancestor simulations by the vile offspring in accelerando, but reversing the light cone is quite chilling - is there any sci-fi novel that deals with that you would recommend?
