In Our Own Image

When Dr. Marcus Tao created CAAN to reverse aging and store both a person's genetic code and unique neuronal pattern, he knew his invention would relegate death to a choice for every human being to make in his own time, and that he would one day have to make that choice for himself.

In Our Own Image, a novella, is a glimpse into the lives of nine characters--the scholar, the father, the daughter, the lovers, the faithful, the sociopath, and the savior--as they deal with the effects of living in a world where both life and death are a choice, redefining human relationships with one another and with self, as they search for meaning and a reason to remain.
