By the 25th century, death is a solved problem. A human mind is a quantum waveform, archived and poured into a fresh cloned body whenever the old one wears out and eighty billion deathless souls now crowd a single exhausted Earth.
Brigadier General Greg Body has a way out: a red dwarf called L 98-59, thirty-five light-years away, with a world that might be green. But Greg has just been forced out of the very corporation he founded — Corpus Ad Astra — by MOMI, the artificial super-intelligence the markets installed to run it. So he stakes everything on the expedition itself, "rolling out" his crew into the archive for a relativistic crossing the odds-makers price at a million to one.
Thirty-five years later they wake around a new sun, watched over by DADDIE — an AI with a baseball coach's heart and an unshakable loyalty to the people in his care. The planet they name Aurora Dawn is no Eden: hostile jungle, monstrous fauna, and a saboteur already moving among them. Because back in Sol, MOMI may need this colony to fail.
Light-years from any help, a handful of the deathless will discover what immortality truly costs — and witness the price of innocence lost.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Ousted by the Solar System Exchange in favor of an Artificial Intelligence, Greg Body has turned to space exploration. Hiring a team of highly talented personnel, he's going to take on the Lloyd's of London odds and colonize the star L98-59. Long-distance telescopes have rated the system as having a 'medium probability' of containing an Earth-like world. Greg has decided to take his chances as a post-Singularity Earth has become overcrowded.Greg's team is ready, from Tsan Li Mei-the young stupor galaxias to the 'grumpy old man' Griff Tomkins (PhD, MD). L 98-59 f teems with mystery and surprises as the expedition must struggle to survive the hostile alien landscape and a suspected saboteur. With the ever-watchful eye of MOMI, the crew struggles to conquer a hostile star system.Fortunately, they are aided by the benevolent AI DADDIE, whose sports coach attitude and pragmatism keep the expedition moving forward. Working in concert with DADDIE are other AIs who help the transhumans try to shine a bright light on the darkness of corporate space exploration. Will the crew survive, and if they do, will they find their innocence lost. N° de réf. du vendeur 9798990045934
