Description
On a desert planet, two boys meet, sparking a friendship that will change
human society forever. On the windswept world of Bleak, a string of murders
lead a writer to a story with unbelievable ramifications. One man survives
the vicious attacks, but is left with a morbid fascination with death; the
perfect candidate for the perilous job of working on a rig. Welcome to the
System. Here the concept of a god has been abandoned, and a new faith
pervades: AfterLife, a social media platform that allows subscribers a
chance at resurrection, based on the votes of other users. So many Lives,
forever interlinked, and one structure at the centre of it all: the rig.
