By R. Williams
Format:Paperback
This book is one I regularly come back to. In a catastrophically wrecked 24th century there is a group of people who are essentially immortal - apparently scared immortal by some dreadful event in their life. The hero, for example, became immortal during the Krakatoa eruption. These immortals find themselves pitted against a rogue member of their group backed up by a paranoid computer.
The extrapolated effects of global climate change, nascent racism and western educational disarmament described within the book are very disturbing. Especially as all current indicators are pointing in the way Alfred Bester descibes.

Unknown to most, there is a secret society of immortals. To become immortal, you generally have to die in a particularly nasty manner.
In this future society and super computer is very important to running things, and when a diseased crazy immortal becomes involved with the machine, the other immortals have to stop him. If you can't kill him, what do you do?
