Description
- Finalist for the Philip K. Dick and Arthur C. Clarke Awards - The gripping first novel by Drew Magary, author of The Hike and The Night the Lights Went Out
An exciting page turner. . . . Drew Magary is an excellent writer. The Postmortal is . . . even more terrifying than zombie apocalypse. -- Mark Frauenfelder, Boing Boing 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.
