Violent, psychological and shocking, yet packed with engaging dialogue and dark humour.
Centenarian explores a foreseeable future through the eyes of one man, Frank Washington.
Written in a style which places the reader inside the mind of the main character, the author purposely sets out to draw you into a life that’s rapidly spiralling out of control.
Frank has just turned one hundred, yet his appearance is that of a man in his thirties. Nothing unusual in that though because like most people, he’s on Immo, the immortality drug which suspends ageing. And it’s not only death that’s been banished in Frank’s utopian world, there’s no war, no want, no work, no need, no ambition, no urgency, no purpose. So what’s a man to do for the next one hundred years, when he’s spent the last one hundred doing all there is to do?
Frank decides to make one small change, one small change which he believes will bring some meaning to his life, one small change with the potential to bring an abrupt end to his immortal dilemma.
