Fall; or, Dodge in Hell

In his youth, Richard “Dodge” Forthrast founded Corporation 9592, a gaming company that made him a multibillionaire. Now in his middle years, Dodge appreciates his comfortable, unencumbered life, managing his myriad business interests, and spending time with his beloved niece Zula and her young daughter, Sophia. One beautiful autumn day—when Dodge is pronounced brain dead after undergoing a routine medical procedure—his stunned family and close friends must make difficult decisions. Long ago, when Dodge drew up his will as a much younger man, he directed that his body be given to a cryonics company owned by enigmatic tech entrepreneur Elmo Shepherd.
