John Farrell is about to get “The Cure.”
Old age can never kill him now.
The only problem is, everything else still can…
Imagine a near future where a cure for aging is discovered and-after much political and moral debate-made available to people worldwide. Immortality, however, comes with its own unique problems-including evil green people, government euthanasia programs, a disturbing new religious cult, and other horrors.
Witty, eerie, and full of humanity, The Postmortal is an unforgettable thriller that envisions a pre-apocalyptic world so real that it is completely terrifying.
A brilliant, inventive and chilling story. Perhaps a tad too American for an international audience to be completely engrossed with the minutia , but the overall story and idea behind the work is magnificent and this one executed particularly well. I’d say it’s certainly worth a read, because it brings up questions which are very uncomfortable yet strangely alluring.
