I laughed so hard at the ”...and then, finally, he truly knew what it was like to be a bat...” part. Every time a Philosophy course at my Uni gets to the topic of qualia, someone brings the exactly same example of the difference of knowing, how I would feel being a at, and how the bat feels… …that reference came so unexpected.
Otherwise also nice story, and interesting universe. Thanks for posting it.
