Imagine scientists achieving a practical form of Immortality. All the world's major religions feature some form of Paradise where the believers achieve a state of union with God. Will religious leaders instruct their congregations to continue accepting Death so Paradise remains available to them? That could lead to a great social divide and the rise of murderous fanatics--for among those accepting the promise of Death for Paradise, there will be a segment who secretly harbor a fierce hatred toward those free from Death and, to provide an outlet for their hatred, they will conspire to commit acts of violence and murder. We Orphans is a modern fable featuring two scientists, one chasing Interstellar Travel, the other, Immortality, whose discoveries unleash a series of challenging social, ethical, and political dilemmas.
