The Postmortal raises some interesting questions regarding our concept of aging, death, the purpose of life, and religion. However, I do not believe this was a good time for me to read this book. The AHCA healthcare bill is going to be voted on shortly and every time we got into politics regarding healthcare in this book, which given the premise of "humanity discovers a cure for aging that can be administered to those who ask their doctors for it" is frequently, I found myself growing upset and anxious due to the reminder of what is currently at stake. The book was written in 2011, set in 2019, and it was just too much for me to handle due to what current day 2017 is looking like in the healthcare discussion.
