Description
In a near-future world transformed by technological advancement and environmental collapse, an immortal tech billionaire named King Rao has achieved what seemed impossible—eternal life through radical life extension. As he prepares to share his immortality technology with the world, a documentary crew follows him across continents, uncovering the dark secrets and moral compromises that have defined his extraordinary existence. Vauhini Vara's ambitious debut novel weaves together multiple perspectives and timelines to explore profound questions about power, mortality, legacy, and what it truly means to be human in an age of technological transcendence. Through King Rao's journey from humble beginnings to godlike status, the narrative examines the cost of immortality and the consequences of one man's vision for reshaping humanity itself. A thought-provoking meditation on ambition, technology, and the human condition that challenges readers to reconsider what we value most in life.
