After Life

Available online. I've had it bookmarked for ages, having seen it listed under 'Fiction' on the Wikipedia page for The Singularityhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_singularity#Fiction, along with [Message Contains No Recognizable Symbols].
==Length analysis==
Didn't know where to stick this information so it's here for now. The entire text is available online so I ran it through Notepad++ and found the following. It has 43458 words, and 231013 characters (that's an average of 5.3 characters per word, not far off my current assumed standard of 5.5). At 350 5.5-character words per page that would cover 120 pages (Amazon.com estimates"The estimated length is calculated using the number of page turns on a Kindle, Kindle Touch, or a Kindle Keyboard using settings to closely represent a physical book." 118 pages from the Kindle version, so that's interesting).
