Nature Futures publishes sci-fi short story 'Rebody' exploring soldier reprinting in war
Nature's Futures section has published a short story titled 'Rebody,' told through a soldier's recorded log entries to a loved one during an interplanetary war. The narrative follows the soldier across multiple days of combat, describing repeated deaths and 'reprinting' into new bodies via technology from the fictional Obelisk Corporation. The piece uses the diary format to explore themes of mortality, memory and the psychological toll of body-swapping in warfare.
