"Dark humor and crisp dialogue drive the twisty storytelling" — ✓EDITOR'S PICK — Publishers Weekly's BookLife Reviews

In an all-too-possible, not-so-distant future dominated by AI, universal basic income, and "subtirees" living pod-bound lives of leisure, idealistic, semi-slacker hacker Stu Reigns dreams of more.

When Stu's brilliant ex, Roxy Zhang, develops digital immortality, the world's powerful elite scramble to secure their eternal existence. Enter Chuck Rosti, a merciless, terminally ill tycoon made more dangerous since he's on the brink of conviction for massive fraud. His plan? Coerce Stu into helping get Roxy's groundbreaking invention so "Feds can incarcerate my corpse."

Caught between a sick billionaire, a Russian mob, digital mind clones, and a shrewd, devout Southern matriarch, Stu gets tangled in a twisted, high-stakes, 'inverted heist.'

But as betrayals mount and revenge includes murder, Stu and new allies must race to save lives and seek justice in humanity's digital immortality.

Fans of smart cyberpunk, like Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash, or sci-fi with humor, as in Andy Weir's The Martian or John Scalzi's Redshirts, will love Immortality Bytes.
