What are you willing to do for eternal life?
Even during our lifetime, discoveries will be made that will allow people to remain forever young. Death no longer exists. Our children will never die. Welcome to the future: a world inhabited by eternally young, completely healthy, happy people.
But will they be the same as us? Are children needed if their existence requires sacrificing immortality? Is a family needed by those who cannot have children? Do people need a soul if their body doesn’t age?
The utopia “Future” is Dmitry Glukhovsky’s first novel after five years of silence—the author of the cult novel “Metro 2033” and the thriller “Тwilight.” The writer’s books have been translated into dozens of foreign languages, sold in million-copy runs, and adapted for film in Hollywood. But none of them will grip you the way “Future” will.
