Bodies of Summer

Overview

In a not-so-distant future where death is no longer definitive, a body whose resources are exhausted can have its consciousness survive in a digital limbo, then come back in a different body. That doesn’t come free of charge, however. After 100 years as data, Rana returns to life in a makeshift body, the only one he can pay for. He returns to find his son, now an old man, who defies the system by choosing to die naturally and disappear forever.
