What makes Soma great is that it challenges what you consider to be consciousness/soul. >!the protagonist breaks down periodically from Human, to Scan to Suit to Box. along the way you are asked a series of questions twice, once in the beginning and once more at the end.

I couldn’t accept leaving the suit, that was my final line in the sand. Dying is one thing getting brought back as your brain scan, mmm okay. copying that scan and being shot into space…fuck no ,that’s not living. but that was just me.!< the tests are not pass or fail its just to gauge if you accept a certain reality.
