Description
In a future where death has been cured and material scarcity has vanished, Jules has achieved his lifelong dream of living in Disney World—now preserved and operated by devoted networks of “ad-hocs.” But when a rival faction introduces immersive brain-interface technology to transform one of the park’s classic attractions, Jules sees it as a threat to the artistic ideals he holds dear. After an unsettling encounter with mortality and revival, he is drawn into a conflict over control, authenticity, and the direction of a supposedly perfect society. Blending fast-paced science fiction with sharp social commentary, the novel explores identity, technological progress, cultural ownership, and the human need for purpose in a post-scarcity world.
