Résumé

When you live forever, what will you live for?In our distant future, science will provide access to eternal life. With immortality a universal constant, the concept of crime takes on a new definition, giving rise to the “Philosophical Police”, agents trained to solve conflicts between individuals as well as entire species of aliens who have integrated into our society. When two such species erupt in violence over a crime committed centuries ago, Police agent Elijah must submerge himself in each culture to understand how to overcome their ignorance of each other and bring about peace. Soon, however, he finds himself confronting his own immortality, and examining the concept of death itself…In a world where death no longer exists, why do so many want to give up on life?LAST DAYS OF AN IMMORTAL is a claassic, cerebral science fiction story in the tradition of JG Ballard, Gattaca, Solaris, and THX 1138.
