In the midst of war and global unrest, Canadian inventor Will Waterford has effectively created immortality. By turning the human mind into code and implanting it into android bodies called SimBods, Will's work releases humanity from the grip of disease, frailty, and the threat of death.

But immortality comes with a cost, one which he is unwilling to acknowledge until anti-SimBod activist Nora comes into his life. Together, they set about repairing the damage done by his indiscriminate experiments...that is, until Nora grows sick with an incurable disease, and the only way to save her is to find a cure or turn her into the thing she abhors most.

"I Am Become Death" by Rhiannon Lotze is a novella published by Mannison Press, LLC.
