Description
A lost dystopian classic set in a future without death, this novel follows Bruno, a young magazine editor who seems to live a charmed life until he discovers a growth on his neck, the first sign of incurable cancer. His doctor offers him a unique opportunity: Bruno can be frozen until medical science finds a cure. He makes his decision shortly after meeting and falling in love with an enigmatic ballet dancer. Decades later, he wakes to find himself cured, but the world has changed profoundly. Freezing technology is now ubiquitous, the pleasures of life have been subtly drained away, and society has begun to fracture. Bruno must decide what he truly wants from life and whether it is worth the cost. This claustrophobic dystopian novel explores ageing, death, scientific progress and the meaning of life, and includes a new foreword by Sophie Mackintosh.
