I read that story about 10 years ago. Pretty interesting and scary.

It's pretty horrible, but a Freedom Story nonetheless.

It opened me to a whole new world of horrifying possibilities, going far beyond anything that I could ever have imagined before. I would do anything to be able to go back to that blissful ignorance.

HS, both literally and figuratively.

There's a Stephen King short story called "The Jaunt" that's a similar nature of disturbing.

I just read it. It was rather bleak. The ideas presented weren't new to me, I've encountered them here and there in other forms. I quite enjoyed it the read, though. I have a soft spot for this kind of thing.. tortuous existential crises.  I voted FS

Edit: Read it here

Believe it or not, but the story was also adapted as a computer game back in the 90s:

At your own risks and perils... I won't tell you not to, because I saw a lot of warnings before learning about it and they didn't stop me. I'm always too curious for my own good.

That's actually how I found out about it.

Allows for a much nicer ending too.

Obscurish literary reference so yes it would be. Maybe a bit too long but there are comparable names in length (such as The Number Twelve Looks Like You.)

I was a huge reader of SF, and Ellison was groundbreaking in his use of the genre. There was little like it in the SF genre in the 1960's.
