After Life, Inc. Chronicles #1
After Life Inc.
The After Life program was created to defy death. People no longer die, instead they are chipped and uploaded into a computer program to live out an eternally blissful existence.
Joshua has been confined to the After Life program for over 100 years and is put in charge of showing new arrival, Clara Jean, the ropes of living and surviving in the program. Clara Jean soon realizes The After Life program is not the peaceful utopia she was promised. Anyone under the age of 30 is a Minor and forced into slavery, expected to obey the Elders' every command without question or complaint. Joshua and Clara live in Pod 223 with 5 other Minors who now are the closest thing Clara Jean has to family. Together, Pod 223 begins the revolution to dismantle the most tyrannical corporation in Earth's existence and in doing so discover themselves and what they truly stand for.

Oppressed try to beat oppressors
It's a weird concept but there is much action and fairly good characters in this book. If you liked the Allegiant series of books you might like this one. I didn't like the ending, and I don't really recommend this book.

Enjoyable debut from this author. Moved along quickly, kept you wanting to read the next page, and the next. And because of the ability to do that, the way it ended was a disappointment. The reason for the 3 star rating. I am hoping there is a follow up to this one, that I will add to my must read list.

This is one of the more original dystopias I've read recently. The author has some interesting ideas and paints vivid pictures... I could picture large swaths of the story unfolding like a movie as I read. Despite being #1 in a planned series, the story is very well self-contained. Kudos to S.R. for steering clear of the inevitable YA love triangle.

Great debut novel. A fun sci-fi I highly recommend to anyone who's looking for some romance too boot.
