Como por Breve história sobre um mundo virtual. Protagonista é uma mulher que se especializou em experiências de tortura , isso é A Metamorfose do Intelecto Primordial , uma novela de Roger Williams.
Para citar a resposta de FarfieldDino:
A computer of omnipotent power that is (theoretically) benevolent to humans controls the physical universe as though it were a virtual simulation. Humans can't be hurt, but some get bored. They exploit a loophole in the computer's logic and create self-contained game worlds where the safeties are turned off. The object is to survive as long as possible and the only escape is death. When they die, they are resurrected outside of the game.
The main character (the woman) is the best player of these games, and is known as the 'queen of the death jockeys'. At one point she does critique a new game maker's game early in the story.
