{"product_id":"9781684632763","title":"Lifers : A Novel","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the year 2050, the man known as Zinn is on the run from the consequences of his greatest creation: an artificial genome that wildly increases the human lifespan. His 'Methuselah gene' has gone viral, and he's being hunted by Adele, a semi-retired CIA biowarfare specialist who hopes to find a way to reverse the genome's effects before it's too late. As the longevity plague spreads, populations explode, economies are upended, and intergenerational resentments boil over. Adele searches for a cure while her former lover, Dan Altman, and his wife, Marion, wealthy political operatives both, become leaders of a movement of hundred-plus-year-old 'lifers' and fight to create a sanctuary for the ultra-aged in the wilds of Colorado. Meanwhile, the Altmans' son, Nolan, thinks he has the answer to the longevity crisis: a suicide pill that kills after one year, a death wish algorithm that will influence the super-aged to take it, and his beautiful daughter, Claire, who is a spokesperson for the growing anti-lifer backlash and the head of the federal government's new Department for Longevity Management. Combining a hugely topical premise with a vein of social-political satire, Lifers evokes a world where society's ingrained ageism turns lethal and the fear of death is replaced by the challenge of living on ... and on.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SparkPress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52628938654007,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":97.46,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/3548\/7543\/files\/9781684632763-1.jpg?v=1783491576","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.my\/products\/9781684632763","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Malaysia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
