The Postmortal
Drew Magary
Penguin
<p>### Review</p>
<p>"An exciting page turner. . . . Drew Magary is an excellent writer. This is his first novel but he tells the story masterfully. . . . The most frightening thing about *The Postmortal* is that this could really happen-it's not a supernatural story, but it's even more terrifying than zombie apocalypse."   <br>-Mark Frauenfelder, *BoingBoing*   </p>
<p><br>"It's nearly impossible not to read this smart speculative novel and imagine how your own little chunk of the world might fall to pieces given the chance to live forever."   <br>-*Booklist*   </p>
<p><br>"The first novel from a popular sports blogger and humorist puts a darkly comic spin on a science fiction premise and hits the sweet spot between Margaret Atwood and Kurt Vonnegut. . . . [Magary] understands that satire is most effective when it gives the real world a gently absurd nudge, then lets its characters react much as we ourselves might under the same circumstances."   <br>-Ron Hogan, *Shelf Awareness*   </p>
<p><br>"Immortality has figured in a number of sf novels prior to this one, but never, to my experience, in this way. . . . A very clear-eyed picture, one I don't think has been drawn before. . . . *The Postmortal* surprised me in a good way."   <br>-Michelle West, *Fantasy &amp; Science Fiction* magazine   </p></br></br></br></br></br></br></br>
