Ever read Transmetropolitan? It has a whole sub-arc on just the absolute lack of concern that a future society would have for this resurrection obligation/burden imposed on them.

A friend of mine is so much a fan of Transmetropolitan that he has a spider tattoo on his head in the same place.

He kinda looks like the character to begin with, but with the ink and a bit of cosplay, combined with a shitty fake accent, it's almost like he sprang from the pages lol

It is extremely unlikely that humanity can survive neoliberalism still long enough to birth that world. I think the sterile coming future will not view human life as a burdensome excess to be disposed of like so much effluvia.
