| Annotation | After a world-wide environmental collapse, a plan is put in place to replace human bodies and, by doing so, create a eutopia. In the eutopia, where the novel begins, people regenerate themselves and live very long lives, and the protagonist is over 600 years old. Most of the world’s land is under agriculture with all housing on land that is too steep to be used for mechanized farming. Income and housing depend on one’s level of employment. People are kept in balance psychologically chemically. Everyone has a virtual mother and father, even someone as old as the protagonist. But the eutopia is ruled by corporations and is deeply flawed. |
