The Weight of a Thumb

Five hundred years from now, the human race has conquered death, distance, and nearly every discomfort that once defined a life - and lost something it hasn't yet found the words for.In a world governed by thumbprints, machine oversight, and bodies that no longer age past the surface, a handful of people keep stumbling into the same quiet, dangerous question: what do you owe the people - and the machines - who remember who you used to be?Each book in this series stands alone, following a different life caught at the edge of an old promise coming due. Together, they build one continuous picture of a civilization that finally has everything it once wanted, and is only beginning to reckon with what it gave up to get there.Start with The Weight of a Thumb.
