What keeps you going? A goal? A career? Another person?At 92, Mike Feral feared death and wanted to live forever. So, like others in 2045 who could afford them, he bought Static Aging and Perfected Health to live for as long as he wanted - or until taken by fate. From the Moon to Mars to Alpha Centauri's stars, he might live to see the 30th Century. Yet none could stay the tides of inevitable change.How long do you want to live...if you can live forever? "The way you open the novel grabs your readers by the throat--all that talk about how virtually no one is remembered once thousands upon thousands of years have passed. I especially loved this line--"In 50,000 years the creators of electricity, artificial intelligence and biological engineering will of no more importance than the names of those who first harnessed fire, built wheels, or used a stick as a deadly spear - if indeed they even HAD names." For me, while reading this, I experienced a moment of, "Huh, I guess that's true." I, too, have often pondered how our short time on earth makes our lives seemingly worthless unless we do or invent something great, life-altering or phenomenal. Then again, when the last person who remembered us dies, we're dead and forgotten forever, too. I think this line should be featured on the flap of your novel when it's published: 'People used to ask me, 'How do you want to be remembered?' Now they won't have to remember me. I'll be here.' For brilliance, I back you."-Ashley Graham… (mehr)
