The multiverse trope captures the thrill of seeing life in countless permutations, embodying the question: "To which reality does Superman belong?" All of them? None?
Multiversal stories transform choice into trippy transit, taking characters through slightly differing realities that challenge their psyche, as seen in Ted Chiang's story where a character questions the significance of their decisions.
In Peng Shepherd's "All This & More," a reality-TV show allows participants to make multiple life-altering choices based on past decisions, leading to ethical dilemmas and identity exploration.
Shepherd locates the multiverse as a mechanism to illustrate how identity forms and fragments in pivotal moments, questioning the ethics of infinite choice in a reality with countless outcomes.
