How far would we go to overcome death?
An exciting thriller that hits us to the core: if humans can live forever thanks to artificial intelligence – will they want to? Vienna, 2095: A corpse in the Danube is nothing unusual for Inspector Landauer. But this time there are two, and what’s worse: the two dead women look exactly alike. Why does the dead woman exist twice? During his research, Landauer comes across a bizarre high-tech death cult: young people who murder clones of themselves, again and again. Are these so-called Deathers simply crazy? Or is there a method to their madness? As time goes by, the evidence mounts that the deceased were on the trail of a great secret. Tom Hillenbrand’s fascinating novel takes us from Vienna to London, to Greece and around the world. In different ways, people everywhere are confronted with the most existential of all questions: that of death and the afterlife.
Bold and entertaining: Thanatopia is a philosophical, clever, highly suspenseful thriller about what makes up our lives.
