Eliminating Death

Eternal life is just a few billion dollars away

“Death destroys everything. Death is barbaric. So you tell me: why should we put up with that?”

Three high-profile entrepreneurs from Silicon Valley are planning to launch a second 'Manhattan Project'. Except their goal is even more ambitious than developing an atomic bomb: they want to abolish death. Meanwhile, journalist James Windover discovers that the entrepreneurs – as they raise billions from investors – are secretly trying to silence a certain author because they fear a story he has written. What does it contain that could jeopardize their project? James sets out in search of the man and soon finds himself in mortal danger ...

 

Artificial intelligence is just the beginning. What about the potential – and possible dangers – of artificial consciousness?

An exciting thriller that revolves around highly topical issues, and at the same time presents a thought experiment. Reading material that offers additional value!
