(It all got a bit silly after the Parnell singularity. Instanced copies of Josh's uploaded brain spread out over the entire internet. The entire world's computer systems became dedicated to the cause of modelling a procedural universe within 24 hours. Planes fell out of the sky. Satellites blinked to darkness. Microwave ovens turned their attention from baked potatoes to ore mining. Society separated into strata. The wealthy elite retreated to their virtual world, sustained by the masses, who have returned to an agrarian existence.
I hope you're happy now, you monsters.)
that kinda reminds me of that new johnny depp film, where basically exact this happens.
except with more technological singularity and less ore mining
