Even if we don't self-destruct, we will likely have evolved into something else completely different by then. Or maybe a million years from now they will keep some humans (based on present-day DNA) in a museum exhibit somewhere. Or maybe that's us.

I still maintain that we're not just a simulation, we're a screensaver on the computer of some extradimensional office worker who has been out of office for their version of a weekend.

Everything by qntm is phenomenal if a bit rough around the edges. Fine Structure was one of my favorites, along with There is No Antimemetics Division, which is now being published as a proper book!

Loved this story.

Although, *spoiler*, my mind is still having a hard time understanding how the characters could exist before their simulation started.

Did they just not realize that their reality was sped up before the moment where the simulations began?

Some will evolve, some will stay. We are evolved from 1 billion year old bacteria, which still there, on Earth.
