The bits with surveillance, manipulation and deceit were somewhat spooky, and I suppose someone might find them scary in the arsenal of a superintelligence. Not me, though, in this instance - the setting and the knowledge/presumption that the original Optimalverse is as bad as it gets counter the potential for scariness.

The uploading back-and-forth gets a little boring for an old timer as well. But worth a read anyway.
