If you haven't read Neal Stephenson's 'Fall', you should (though reading 'Reamde' for context on some of the characters may be useful).

'Fall' is about half Paradise Lost for the digital afterlife (less-realistic), but the other half is a fairly believable take on the outlook in a 'post-truth' world of deep fakes and AI slop.
