Wow you always see right through my plot! Yeah the clones are just stuck in this sick loop... die and wake up again. And your right about the main guy, he got that same dark trait inside him too, he just don't want to admit it yet lol. How many uploads? Man, maybe thousands already...

And that Grok article you read is so crazy! Actually that kind of real news is what give me the idea for this chapter. Human brains used like computer parts... it is so scary that AI don't even say it is fake news now. I guess reality is getting more cyberpunk than my story haha. Have a great day!
