Flawed utopia in which immortality was available in twenty-five year increments with aliens experimenting on humans and multiple worlds. The blurb on the first page after the cover includes what could be a definition of a flawed utopia: “Utopia was no longer a beautiful dream but a horrifying reality. Perfection--pure, absolute and unchanging--was slowly mummifying the human race and the world had become a monstrous still life.”
