Immortality Bytes
Digital Minds Don't Get Hungry
"Digital eternal life — it's almost worth dying for. But definitely worth killing for."
In an all-too-possible, not-so-distant future dominated by AI, universal basic income, and "subtirees" living pod-bound lives of leisure, idealistic semi-slacker hacker Stu Reigns dreams of more. When his brilliant ex, Roxy Zhang, develops digital immortality, the world's elite scramble to secure eternal existence — and Chuck Rosti, a merciless, terminally ill tycoon on the brink of a fraud conviction, coerces Stu into stealing it so the "Feds can incarcerate my corpse."
Caught between a sick billionaire, the Russian mob, digital mind-clones, and a shrewd, devout Southern matriarch, Stu gets tangled in a twisted, high-stakes "inverted heist" where betrayals mount and revenge turns to murder.
Sci-Fi · Comedy · Thriller (Heist). For fans of Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash, Andy Weir's The Martian, and John Scalzi's Redshirts.
