I did that a long time ago. Do you need me to post a pointer again?

The Clinic Seed was good, and it does mention slowing down someone's
perception of time. I can recommend it to anyone who hasn't read it.<br>
<br>
While The Clinic Seed deals with the impact of uploading itself on
human society, what I had in mind was afterwards (in a setting where
the initial effects of uploading are over and it's a common or even
universal thing), a more focused exploration of the societal
implications of the ability of uploads to change how quickly time
flows for them. Implications for both the uploaded and the
un-uploaded (assuming there are any). How this ability might affect
interpersonal relationships, people's psychology and how it could
change the way society functions. How it may be, for some, not just
an ability but a necessity, for various reasons (like sustaining a
multi-tiered system with different units running at different
clock-speeds, as per my previous post).<br>
