Book Description
======
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Seveneves, Anathem,
Reamde, and Cryptonomicon returns with a wildly inventive and
entertaining science fiction thriller – Paradise Lost by way of
Phillip K. Dick – that unfolds in the near future, in parallel worlds.–

In his youth, Richard Dodge Forthrast founded Corporation 9592, a
gaming company that made him a multibillionaire. Now in his middle
years, Dodge appreciates his comfortable, unencumbered life, managing–
his myriad business interests, and spending time with his beloved
niece Zula and her young daughter, Sophia.

One beautiful autumn day, while he undergoes a routine medical
procedure, something goes irrevocably wrong. Dodge is pronounced brain–
dead and put on life support, leaving his stunned family and close
friends with difficult decisions. Long ago, when a much younger Dodge–
drew up his will, he directed that his body be given to a cryonics
company now owned by enigmatic tech entrepreneur Elmo Shepherd.
Legally bound to follow the directive despite their misgivings,
Dodges family has his brain scanned and its data structures uploaded
and stored in the cloud, until it can eventually be revived.

In the coming years, technology allows Dodges brain to be turned back–
on. It is an achievement that is nothing less than the disruption of
death itself. An eternal afterlife – the Bitworld – is created, in
which humans continue to exist as digital souls.

But this brave new immortal world is not the Utopia it might first
seem….

Fall, or Dodge in Hell is pure, unadulterated fun: a grand drama of
analog and digital, man and machine, angels and demons, gods and
followers, the finite and the eternal. In this exhilarating epic, Neal–
Stephenson raises profound existential questions and touches on the
revolutionary breakthroughs that are transforming our future.
Combining the technological, philosophical, and spiritual in one grand–
myth, he delivers a mind-blowing speculative literary saga for the
modern age.
