Hilarious, fast-paced and even poetic, this science-fiction tour de force follows Kay Strossen, a once-genius inventor who simply wants to be forgotten. Many lifetimes ago, Kay effectively created the recipe for immortality. Now she needs to face some incredible dangers if she is to ensure the preservation of the human race. "On our way we passed Coffee Mountain, a small crater that had been filled with hundreds of millions of pounds of disposable coffee pods during the Disposable Coffee Crisis of 2229, when we had reached peak coffee."
