What happens after you die? What about after that? Or after that? And what if you just skipped the dying part entirely? How far can you take things? Isaac Asimov helps wrap our heads around these questions with the power of AI.

From a time when that had little to do with crypto-adjacent scams, Asimov's story used AI to plant a seed in our imagination. I had never felt closer to the entropic ends of the universe than until I read this story. It turns out its a place where all things converge: optimism and pessimism, individual and collective, emergence and cessation, man and machine. At least that's where our conversation went, the story itself is a straight shot into the titular question. You can read the story or listen here to find out what that is.
