Thank you for linking this! I'm a big fan of Egan but had never read this particular short story. I feel like Egan is perhaps the only contemporary author who actually _gets_ consciousness.

He's the best hard sci fi author by far. Permutation City is also a must read especially because of its thought experiments around consciousness and computation.
