About the Book
“Don’t call them ghosts, Amichai. The dead vote. They own buildings. They’re your employers. Don’t think they can’t destroy you just because they don’t have bodies.”
Heaven is a real place the living built, and it’s called The Upterlife. At the moment of death, the consciousness of obedient citizens are uploaded to hi-tech servers, where fifteen generations of the dead run rampant in video game paradise.
Amichai Damrosch loves his sister enough to murder her into everlasting joy. She was condemned in the last plague, yet the dead have condemned her to painful work maintaining their city-sized servers. Everyone says a lifetime of slavery is a small price to pay for eternal pleasures – but Amichai knows his sister’s mind will be shattered long before her brain gets uploaded.
To save her, Amichai Damrosch must infiltrate the thuggish secret police that keep the living in line. There, he’ll discover a conspiracy against the living that will ignite a full-blown rebellion – a rebellion that risks destroying the Upterlife forever...
