The Dispatcher by John Scalzi:
This is a very intriguing high concept short story read by Zachary Quinto on Audible.
Anyone who dies through violence, disease, or accident, disappears and "respawns" naked in their bedroom. People only have a 1 in 1000 chance of actually dying permanently. The main character is someone who "dispatches" patients when risky surgical procedures or other high risk events go wrong in order to save them.
Intrigue ensues from there. Good stuff.
Westworld Season 3:
They had me at Aaron Paul.
I liked this season much more that season 2. They gave up on trying to be cute with non-linear chronology. It still had plenty of twists.
And again, Aaron Paul's character was a nice addition of a human who is actually likeable
