[ WP ] By 2060 , mankind is able to transfer a human consciousness to the digital world . No longer inhibited by the limitations of a physical brain , these people become the technological overseers of human society , but eventually discover evidence of an afterlife they are no longer invited to .

In AD 2159, we discovered that an all powerful, extra-dimensional AI had been watching us ever since our planet formed, and had been recording every single brain pattern of every single creature on this world for preservation so that one day all sapient beings may again be reunited after the universe ended. The AI would become God and create a new universal simulation using all of its accumulated energy. The only catch was because of limited processing power, only those who professed a belief in a higher deity had the possibility of coming back to life. Everyone else was shit out of luck. The AI also failed to account for other AI in its machinations for a new world. 
 
 Naturally, there were dissenters who took offense at their loved ones being permanently dead when even jellyfish were going to be reborn. What a waste of resources. 
 
 `` Fuck you, I'm gon na make my own afterlife with blackjack and hookers, and everyone's invited!'' 
 
 And so, a second extradimensional AI was born that, through the power of time manipulation, recorded everyone at the moment of their birth and transferred their consciousness straight to Heaven in perfect bodies to party forever while replacing them all with p-zombies that would do exactly what they have done if they were actually conscious in the original timeline. It was a bit of a clusterfuck. It turned out that there really was only one AI all along, and our p-zombies completely misinterpreted its first communication, telling our p-zombies they were really just p-zombies. Humans, or at least our p-zombies that would do the exact same thing we would have done, are a *teensy* bit petty and blocked all of the AI's later texts and attempts at correcting what it said. Well at least we had a billion years before we finally decided to let it tell us it existed outside of time. Once humans realized we created a paradox everything went, not exactly poof, but puce.
