SF, naturally.
It was a sort of future history of the invention of interstellar travel via transmat machines..
With transmat machines, an exact replica of you is created at the other end, with all your memories, blissfully unaware of what happened. But it isn't you. Your concious existence ended when your atoms were taken apart and you were exterminated.
So, after reading that I've never uses a transmat machine.

I'm not staying in the UK. Currently thinking about saving up a vast amount of cash and going somewhere else and declaring sanity asylum.
Should move to bagdhad. Less foreigners there!

The UK economy grew at its fastest rate for two years in the second quarter of this year, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) has said.
UK GDP grew by 0.8% between April and June, compared to the previous quarter.
This took the growth rate up to 2.6% and boosted chances that the Bank of England will raise interest rates soon.
Analysts had expected GDP to grow at 0.7% during the quarter.
