The New World: a Novel

It was Wanda who found the online support group for cryonics ...widows called the Penelope Project and strongly encouraged Jane to join. Look, she wrote, a group for people just like you.

When she couldn’t stand it anymore, Jane announced herself with a post: Polaris is a monster.MoreLess
