It’s about people who have 8 day lifespans, and follows the story of a boy who grows up to fulfill a great quest. I like it from a rationalist standpoint because it has themes similar to those we have around AI, life extension, and more: we have a limited to achieve something, and if we don’t pull it off we are at least personally doomed, and maybe societally, too.
Quest (1984)
