While the trans-humanism, existential themes of digital minds, and the implications that come with them were almost completely ignored by most story tellers. It makes SOMA's story a far more terrifying one, because it asks us very strong questions that the original story did not ask as well.

I gotta agree with this. If Simon had woken up to find a bizarro version of PACE labs (with structure gel spurting from the water fountain, etc.), I would've just thought, "What's the point in continuing?"
