Predictable Paths 4 - Three Guys in a Post-Apocalyptic Bar - A Longevity / Age Engineering and Genetic Engineering Sci-Fi Novella

Three Guys in a Post-Apocalyptic Bar - A Longevity / Age Engineering and Genetic Engineering Science Fiction Novella by Blade Cort; Book 4 of 8 in the Predictable Paths series [#postapocalyptic #dystopian #humor]

________

It's 2054, 17 years after the Great Debacle that killed billions. Long-time high school wrestling buddies Sam and Ross sit in their favorite bar, embroiled in a pointless discussion about the new anti-aging treatments that are being offered to extend life for hundreds of years.

Sam says it's foolish to even consider these therapies, given the abysmal state of their post-Debacle world and the chaos they endured in the last few decades. Ross, however, is intrigued by the idea and longs for the chance to experience a longer life span.

Suddenly, a stranger joins them, and they can’t help but suspect that he may be an undercover thug sent to hunt down radical types who speak against the budding oligarch-controlled state. The trio continues the conversation with derision and cussing, debating both sides of longevity technology and its impacts on human society.

Will Sam and Ross get red-flagged for their aberrant opinions, and can anything useful arise from their squabbling? Probably not – but you never know.
