Description

Permutation City is the story of a man with a vision: immortality — for those who can afford it — found in cyberspace. It is the tale of how he plans to create immortality, and how that vision becomes something far beyond his control. Encompassing the lives and struggles of an artificial-life junkie desperate to save her dying mother, a billionaire banker scarred by a terrible crime, and lovers for whom, in their timeless virtual world, love is not enough, Permutation City is filled with a sense of wonder.
