Customer Reviews

Science, religion, and politics clash.

This is a futuristic story about the discovery of a medical procedure that enables recently deceased people (from natural causes) to be brought back to life. The protagonist, who is a former well known politician, is solicited to represent a private company that discovered the procedure. He agrees to try to gather support from current politicians, who must legalize the procedure, and from religious and public groups. The story is well told, and the moral and ethical considerations are surprisingly realistic and thoughtful. The problem is complicated by the fact that the procedure is not foolproof, and that some will be brought back to physical life, but without any mental activity. This is a typical classic Silverberg story, and is thought provoking.
