Beschreibung

"A dazzling, deadpan nightmare."--Kaliane Bradley, author of The Ministry of Time A lost dystopian classic, set in a future without death. You don't own yourself any longer. Society owns you. Had it not been for society, you would not be lying here now.<br>Bruno, a young magazine editor, seems to live a charmed life, until he discovers a growth on his neck - the first sign of incurable cancer. But his doctor offers him a unique opportunity: Bruno can choose to be "frozen down" until medical science has found a cure for his condition. He makes his decision, just after meeting and falling in love with an enigmatic ballet dancer. Decades later, he wakes up to find himself cured, but the world is now a very different place. Freezing technology is now ubiquitous, the pleasures of life have been subtly drained and society has started to fracture. Bruno must decide what he really wants from his life and whether it's worth the cost. Fans of dystopian fiction will love this creepingly claustrophobic classic, which asks all the big questions about aging, death, scientific progress and the meaning of life.<br>Featuring an introduction by Sophie Mackintosh.
