Paperback. Condizione: New. For Conrad Burrell - husband, father, and successful attorney in the autumn of his life - the world has come apart. Having long ago lost his first wife, the mother of his grown daughter and a widow herself, to youth and pride, he's now lost his second to a violent accident, 'You think you're finished, that you have no more stories in you,' his ex-wife warns, and he fears she's right. Within hailing distance of the end of his days, after a lifetime of meeting the expectations of others, none are left but Conrad's own, and he must discover whether love survives death as well as divorce - whether family memory can redeem individual mortality. What do we do, then, we widows and widowers for whom there's nothing left but the world's permission to stop what we've done all our lives? In the cities of his youth, in the deserts of New Mexico, but most of all in a small Pennsylvania town, Conrad finds he has one more lesson in love to learn from the women of his past, and the one woman he's certain he can't live without. When We Were All Still Alive is a novel of grief and healing, a portrait of a marriage, and a love song to ordinary lives.

Paperback. Condizione: New. In 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.
