Synopsis

In the Fall of 2331, Zan Wilcox won the lotto to have his DNA hardened so that he would never age further. If he stayed healthy and avoided physical accidents, he could live indefinitely long in his 25 year-old body and mind - he would join a limited number of submortal humans. Realizing that he could not bear to see his friends and family age and die, he joined a commune of other submortals who lived underground and acted as caretakers and restorers of endangered and extinct wildlife. There he met the woman of his dreams, and it seemed like their long lives together would be perfect - until they discovered the horrible secret.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Scott Elliott's passion for science, technology and science fiction literature started as a child, when he grew up in the 1950s in a blue-collar suburb east of Los Angeles. He was the first in his family to have the opportunity to go to college, and he started at the University of California at Berkeley as an Engineering student in 1964. Eight tumultuous years at Berkeley infused him with the possibilities of science and technology to contribute to the betterment of human life, but also with the realities of human weaknesses, global social inequalities and social strife. Scott went on to earn his PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and went to work for an Advanced Technology Center for Hewlett Packard, doing research and engineering on lasers, ultrasonics and high-speed communications. He fulfilled a long career with HP, climbing the management ranks, and eventually starting his own technology management consulting firm working with high-tech companies in the US, Europe and Southeast Asia. During his career, Scott developed a love of creative writing and blogging, contributing many papers and book chapters in the areas of technology and technology management. He has now returned to his love of hard science-fiction by writing very plausible scenarios employing physically possible technology advances with the realities of human social behaviors. Scott has two successful adult sons and two beautiful grandsons, and he lives and writes atop a hill in San Francisco with his Chinese wife.
