Yes, Nick Bostrom's fable is something that has a big impact. I refer to it in the final chapter of my book, as an admirable example of the positive power of online advocacy.

Bostrom is one of my favorites. I remember years ago when I was introduced to his "Simulation Theory" and "Paperclip Theory". My mind is still blown from that!
