This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

SOMA is a horror game/walking simulator (depends on the critic) about a man who has his brain scanned as he is dying of brain bleeding caused by a car accident months prior. By having his brain scanned, it actually copies his consciousness, and he ends up transported to a far flung apocalyptic future.
I don't want to spoil too much, it's an amazing game with fantastic dives into rather dense and challenging ethical and philosophical questions. My reference to this post was about the fact that, in the future, an artificial intelligence fashioned a sort of "flesh nexus"—the AI was given the sole task of preserving human life, and in its reasoning, if a person is dying, they can be converted into something different that will live on indefinitely.
PLEASE, either go play the game (it's not extremely long) or watch a good let's play.
Sounds amazing
