Science fiction. What happens when your digital self overpowers your physical self? A life in Permutation City is unlike any life to which you're accustomed. Immortality is a real thing, just not the thing you'd expect. Life is just electronic code. You have been digitized, scanned, and downloaded into a virtual reality program. A copy of a copy. For Paul Durham, he keeps making copies of himself, but the issue is that his copies keep changing their minds and shutting themselves down.
