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?

Loved it! Thanks!

That was freaking awesome
