Old Twentieth

The twentieth century lies hundreds of years in humanity's past. But the near-immortal citizens of the future yearn for the good old days-when people's bodies were unable to spontaneously heal, and disease and age were actual causes of death. Immersing themselves in virtual reality time machines, they are addicted to exploring the life-to-death are that defined a lifetime so long ago.

Joe Haldeman is currently an adjunct professor teaching writing at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
