Each story has a synopsis. I try, but not very hard, to avoid spoilers.
- After Life by Simon Funk follows the story of the first upload (who is also one of the scientists that invents uploading), and the society that results from it.
- Crystal Nights by Greg Egan is about a man who creates a computer powerful enough to simulate a world and develop intelligent beings within it, so they can help him achieve the singularity. Or so he hopes.
Notes on things I need to find/add:
- Neal Asher, in general
- MoPI
- three worlds
- the infinitely nested simulations story
- the Vinge researchers that don't know they're uploads story
- the nootropics and robots story
- the story with the AI ship that takes thousands of year to get people to earth
