About This Book
The narrative follows a crowded multi-generational household in a future where an anti-aging drug lets people live indefinitely. A cantankerous patriarch repeatedly alters his will and clings to privileges while younger relatives, all physically similar in apparent youth, resent cramped living conditions and dashed inheritance hopes. Tensions rise when one descendant attempts to sabotage the patriarch's supply of the life-extending medicine, exposing domestic strains produced by indefinite longevity. Satirical observations about entitlement, stagnation, and the social costs of endless life underpin a darkly comic portrait of family dynamics and unequal access to scarce resources.
