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.”
