Thanks for the suggestion, I really liked it. A good piece of short-form philisophy scifi, one of my favourite genres. I feel like it takes a complementary angle to The Whispering Earring, focusing more on identity and less on agency. I wrote some of my reflections here.
You might be interested in reading “Learning To Be Me” https://gwern.net/doc/fiction/science-fiction/1995-egan.pdf for an exploration of this theme, I think it should be mandatory reading for any discussion of The Whispering Earring
