If you enjoyed XL-ZL's Prelude, you should read Orphanogenesis
Greg Egan's Orphanogenesis is a short story (9000words ~40min read time) about a new AI coming online for the first time; figuring out their own memory and thoughts, and the boundaries between self and others.
Egan's writing is a bit dense at times, but it's worth it. There are some wonderful parallels to XL-ZL's origins.
