À propos de cet audio
John Farrell is about to get "The Cure". Old age can never kill him now. The only problem is, everything else still can.
Imagine a near future where a cure for aging is discovered and - after much political and moral debate - made available to people worldwide. Immortality, however, comes with its own unique problems, including evil green people, government euthanasia programs, a disturbing new religious cult, and other horrors.
Witty, eerie, and full of humanity, The Postmortal is an unforgettable thriller that envisions a pre-apocalyptic world so real that it is completely terrifying.

Thought provoking and engaging
I really enjoyed this book up until the very end. Towards the end of the book John’s character has trouble remaining consistent and there is conflict between emphasizing how he has changed and how he hasn’t. The end also seems somewhat rushed and less powerful than it had the potential to be. However the first 9-10 hours of the book are consistently engaging and does a very good job at painting a realistic picture of the diverse ways humanity copes with conflict.

Thought provoking
Yes it's an interesting concept on its own but this book did a deep dive into... the extensial dread and feelings that come up in people's lives as a direct result of the cure. Extremly nuisanced. dystopias can often feel preachy this Doesnt have that err to it at all. Engaging to the last page!

A mix of news stories and one man’s harem through a lifetime
I very much liked the concept, and following one particular, seemingly small man rather than someone at the epicentre. Unfortunately his side of the story deteriorates into a series of vignettes about his various loves - all who seem like the exact same woman. They’re all beautiful in the same way, talk the same, and all are pretty boring. Aside from one who seems like a lampshaded attempt at justifying jailbait.
It reads very much like this had a male author to whom females are a strange, mysterious but ultimately identical species. By the end I was so sick of John that I looked forward to the breaks from his incredibly horny and barren mind, as the wider story of the world and premise was much more intriguing. I wish any one of those vignettes had been the main story, rather than the harem of John we got.

From fun to uncomfortable... in a bad way.
The book began with an impressive punch, and I breezed through the initial four hours filled with lots of laughs and some profound reflections. However, the latter portion meander into a slightly uncomfortable male fantasy.
