SurrogaCity Ascension

Flirting with Immortality

Beschreibung

In SurrogaCity Ascension: Flirting with Immortality, the SurrogaCity chronicle continues as the remnant population of biological humans attempts to adjust to the new world of artificial and sentientoid humans. Ectogenesis and artificial wombs may offer new options for biological humans. As technology ascends to new heights, the residents of SurrogaCity aren't merely flirting with immortality-it's a possibility. But don't mistake it for Utopia. Everything has a price, and there is always someone or something to collect the toll as these familiar characters confront new challenges in the never-ending struggle to survive and flourish. What will the world be like in 2129? The truth lies within.
