Yeah, I've got my Brit post-cyberpunk authors mixed up :D

I have read Lena and it's one of the most chilling stories I've ever read. Something about the semi-factual tone (of course there's something called red-washing to torture new uploads) and the statement of number of running uploads is really disturbing.

It also posits a possible , and to me more likely, future of human uploading - not a flowering of possibilities ala Tegmark but digital slavery.
