A literary near-future speculative spy thriller. “Enjoyed it right through to the last page” Paul Michael.
In January 2016, the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) released information on a $60m Neural Engineering System Design (NESD) program with the aim of developing an implantable neural interface able to provide advanced signal resolution and data-transfer bandwidth between the brain and electronics.
A few decades later …
Tomas Lior – a rebel, a poet – wants to live forever and he knows how. He has a direct connection to the net through wetware implanted in his nervous system and is working to build an afterlife for himself, for his mother, for us all. But when a seemingly malevolent code finds its way into his mind, everything is threatened.
His journey to discover the truth of the code leads him across Europe, from London to the depths of Russia, aided by two members of the Secret Intelligence Service, as they race to stem a build up to war. As events unfold, Lior discovers truths about his mind and the origins of the code that have the potential to shake the very foundations of our civilisation and determine the future of our species.
Thrilling, thoughtful and staggering in its denouement, A Life Worth the Fleeting Suns will intrigue and captivate you until the very last page. If you could live forever, would you?
