The visuals are striking as usual, but I feel like you're using more text than before. It detracts from the existential horror to have every step of the process explained to me, the drawings often say enough.
Great concept tho, and painfully familiar for anyone who knows someone with a neurodegenerative disease.

The premise seems rather flawed: why would you compress in the first place: with only the brain left to transmit, is the need really so great? Plus, there is such a thing as lossless compression.

As the comic says, the data file were huge so compression might have been the only way to send data in a reasonable amount of time, perhaps from years to seconds, we don't know the compression ratio.

This site seems to have some issues. I use the browsers inspection tool to hide the footer, because it covers the comments, and the form to comment. And as soon as I start typing here the publish button goes invisible.

You would think scientists, upon figuring out an increasingly larger portion of humanity was losing their higher brain functions, would either call for an emergency hiatus on the technology's use on humans, or perhaps more dramatically try to encourage people to start having babies again. Can't be that difficult to remove whatever medications or procedures were done to humanity, nor would I expect it's adoption to be near-universal (ex more conservative or religious cultures such as the "Quiverfull" movement, or most farming families in general). Or, failing that, start looking into more robotic designs if your organic brains are failing... though I'd imagine that's a whole new can of worms altogether.
