If there isn't already, there needs to be some fiction about
Buddhist comp-believers trying to escape immortality.
To quote Wikipedia: " In Indian religions, the attainment of nirvana
is moksha, liberation from the cycle of rebirth." Not sure if this
counts as fiction, though.
Yes, buddhism is interesting in that respect. They try to solve the
problem of how to not reborn.
In some version of hinduism and buddhism, if you make some spiritual
mistake, you might backtrack to an animal, and like in some game, to
have repeat again a large number of lives.
No need to take such ideas literally of course, but they are logically
"less wrong" than aristotelianism with respect to the comp assumption.
