Down And Out In The Magic Kingdom by Cory Doctorow

In a future where death has been conquered and society thrives on a reputation-based economy called "Whuffie," the protagonist, Julius, navigates the complexities of a post-scarcity world. Set in a Disney World-like theme park, the story explores themes of immortality, identity, and the value of human experiences. As Julius grapples with personal and societal challenges, he confronts the implications of a world where technology can resurrect the dead and reputation dictates one's social standing, ultimately questioning the essence of what it means to truly live.
