In the middle of the 21st century scientists successfully mix human genes with sea urchin genes to create a being that can live for 400 years. These new humans age at 1/4th the rate of normal humans and this leads to social and economic issues globally such as overpopulation and economic hardships. Learn the trials and tribulations of the first of his kind, the children after him, and the implications when humans learn to put death on hold. Attempted murder, suicide, and inner turmoil fill the book's pages and leave the reader realizing how good life truly is.
