"Death before immortality!" In this cyber-noir Private Detective Harry Tidbit is hired to save the State from terrorist attacks when he learns that his employers have plans to kill him, along with an entire generation of new immortals. With help from an emergent intelligence, Harry repels the assaults, and perfects mind upload as a cure for his brother's terminal illness. But when competing factions vie to claim his discovery, Harry becomes their prime target. "Immortality Wars" paints a wicked portrait of the near-future, one where technology’s goals require wars to bring them to creation. In this world human ingenuity is a saving grace, and immortality is not necessarily forever. Michael Berger, co-founder of Nanowerk.com, a leading nanotechnology information portal, calls Immortality Wars "a riveting and provocative journey into a frightening but plausible future."
