Description

Here is the transcription of the text in the comic:

Panel 1
"As long as your brain is housed in your skull, you're carrying an entire universe in a flimsy container."

Panel 2
"The best solution was to upload our brains."
"Now my brain's in the cloud."
"I can check how much time you think about me per day."
"That's not a weighted average!"

Panel 3
"The cloud was so effective, and the possibility of danger so low, that we didn't even notice when we stopped using our meatbrains."
"Whoa! I remember this. I haven't worn this since college."

Panel 4
"This was fine until one day there was an unexpected solar storm."
"Did the moon just shift a few degrees for you?"
"Does it usually do that?"

Panel 5
"The storage companies were forced to make an announcement."
"Dear Customers,
A recent unforeseen outage temporarily ended the persistent existence of every human being. For the sake of full disclosure, Cloudcorp wishes to make you aware that all of you are reconstructions of your past human minds, created entirely in the last few days, with an unknown amount of errors introduced during the process.
Please accept our sincere apology and a complimentary $5 Starbucks gift card."

Panel 6
"You might think there would be a furious revolt."
"But we were all completely satisfied with the level of transparency and the gift card was really thoughtful."
"Hey, if they'd handled it 'better,' then I wouldn't exist."

Panel 7
"And I loooove soy lattes."

Panel 8
"The old me must've been really brand loyal."

Panel 9
"I wonder why she never mentioned it in any of her emails."
"Huh."
