About This Book
The story follows a ninety-two-year-old former Wall Street titan who, facing inexorable decline, bankrolls an audacious plan to evade death. An engineer named Garibaldi Jones persuades the recluse and recruits a biochemist, Ellsworth Stevens, who has experimented with partial dehydration, freezing, and radioactive tracers to induce suspended animation in animals. The narrative traces the assembling of resources, the scientific premises and methods under consideration, and the ethical and technological stakes of attempting to preserve human life beyond current limits.
