We live in a world on the brink of radical life extension, the blurring of distinctions between human and artificial intelligence, the seamless blending of brain and machine, and genetic engineering of not only our food sources, but of our entire environment and ourselves. How will we live in such a world and what new daunting choices will we face? Raymond Mettler and Marcus Takana live in such a near future in which consciousness can be exchanged between bodies, immortality is within reach, and the wealthy old can pay the young to die for them. As the world struggles at the edge of an ecological disaster resulting from Ray’s creation of a genetically modified turf grass gone haywire, the two men enter a secret pact that grants one immortality, the other vast wealth and knowledge in exchange for an abbreviated life, then deal with the unintended consequences of their Faustian bargain.
