Journal[]
Eliezer Yudkowsky praised it in the comments when it was posted on LessWrong on September 27th 2012, and it's only short so I thought I'd read it. Stuck it on my Kindle and read it that night.
Not really sure there wasn't some stuff that flew over my head, but if I understood everything there wasn't much to it and it didn't really argue against deathism very strongly, just had an immortal character with some reasons to disagree with it.
