by Jim Munroe (Author)
In Vancouver in 2036, people are tired of the rain. They're willing to give up a lot for guaranteed sunshine, a life with no wasted hours. A life free of crime and disease. A life that ends when you want it to, not when some faceless entity decides it's your time.
Those who don't buy in--the poor, the old, the paranoid--have to watch as their loved ones, their friends, and their jobs leave the city. They have to watch as the latest prestige technology, Self, changes everything--not just the world but humanity itself. On the bright side, the rents have dropped. And in several unexpected ways, resistance is growing.Author Biography
