The Forever Dream

Unforgettable.
— Claude

Mankind’s oldest dream is now our newest nightmare. 

The ruthless tech billionaire Victor Leetum has discovered the secret to immortality. Now he wants to use it to live forever and take over the world. Time is short, and bizarre accidents are befalling those who get in his way.

A childhood friend of Leetum’s, the tech-entrepreneur Peter Vreeland, sniffs out what his ex-buddy is up to and knows he must to stop him. Still grieving the loss of his daughter, Vreeland survives his own “accident” and then battles murderous thugs, corrupt officials, and, ultimately, the AI-supercharged Leetum himself. Vreeland’s no spy or assassin, so he has to learn as he goes. But, like any great entrepreneur, he has a keen eye for talent and a boatload of creativity and grit. Vreeland also has the instinct to spot opportunities as they come along — such as when, to his shock and horror, he hears the voice of his dead daughter on the phone…  

A pulse-pounding thriller set on present-day Nantucket, The Forever Dream blends modern AI science with timeless questions about life, death, and love. The age of superintelligence is here, and it will change us forever. But nothing is stronger than the bond between father and daughter.
