Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen

The mental health of the participants stood out most to me. The simulations are experimental, and even though data has shown little risk to mental health, I still feel this is an ethical issue. Participants are putting themselves under the control of others, and their mental health could be compromised. There are no guarantees this won't happen.

Participants are supposed to be thoroughly checked up physically and mentally before and after the simulation. However, the simulations covered in the novel can include some surprising developments, which have an impact on the participants (sorry if I'm so generic, but a proper answer would include some big spoilers). If there's a sequel, I'm pretty sure that it will address this issue.
