Abstract

Mortality Economy is a thriller set in a dystopian world not too far in the future. It examines the moral implications that arise from a new technology that enables the human life span to be sold on the market. The Mortality Augmentation Process (MAP) founded by geneticist Dr. Akira Jimbo has recently celebrated its six millionth sale. Since its launch ten years ago, Reverend Charleston Hill has been in opposition of MAP. However, Charleston is diagnosed with cancer. He strikes a deal with Dr. Jimbo in exchange for an extended life span of 30 years. Charleston must find a way to take down Dr. Jimbo while seemingly upholding his end of the deal.
