April and Jack continued their philosophical discussion:

"Jack, you weren't the same person as you were twenty years ago."

"True, but at least I still felt like myself with a purpose, vividly recalling who I was, but now …"

"But now what, Jack?"

"But now, after 'the upload' to save our species, whatever we once were is irrelevant. We've disconnected from our past. We're living in a digital void with no signs of a future. And worst of all, I can effortlessly alter my thoughts without consequence. There's no challenge."

"That's freedom, Jack!"

"No, April, this is an eternal abyss."
