Ross is the primary investor in a remote and secret compound where death is exquisitely controlled and bodies are preserved until a future time when biomedical advances and new technologies can return them to a life of transcendent promise. We are born without choosing to be. Should we have to die in the same manner? Isn't it a human glory to refuse to accept a certain fate? These are the questions that haunt the novel and its memorable characters. Don DeLillo's seductive, spectacularly observed and brilliant new novel weighs the darkness of the world-terrorism, floods, fires, famine, plague - against the beauty and humanity of everyday life. 650 0 $a Fathers and sons $v Fiction 650 0 $a Rich people $v Fiction 650 1 $a Bioethics $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Psychological fiction $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Audiobooks $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Sadoski, Thomas, $d 1976- 941 $a 1 945 $a cda 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20160510011243.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=986E9244167411E6A333BB94DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
