In the story a man wakes up in a new version of Heaven where everyone gets the Heaven they want. The Old Heaven was found to be out of date, and Hell had never existed but been invented as a useful rhetorical device. Now Hell exists only for those who want it to exist and is an obvious fake. Bored after a few centuries of getting just what he wants, the man decides to want to dream that he wakes up alive again and does.

The novel traces the life of a woman from her childhood to old age (99), much of it in her own voice. The last section (139-97) is set in a future that has seen a revolt of old people demanding respect after a spate of Old People\’s Suicides taking place outside the official voluntary euthanasia system. This is a very small part of the novel, with most of the third section reflections on death and religion through the eyes of her son, who is in conversation with the General Purpose Computer, then the supposedly more advanced, The Absolute Truth computer.
