A Nebula Award-Winning Sci-Fi Novella Collection of Medical Reanimation, Grief, and Immortality

This acclaimed speculative collection gathers three novellas by Grand Master Robert Silverberg, led by his Nebula and Locus Award-winning title story, "Born With the Dead." In a near-future world where biological death can be reversed through advanced medical reanimation, the "dead-alives" exist in emotionally detached, closed enclaves.

When Sybille Klein dies and undergoes reanimation, her grieving living husband Jorge Klein pursues her to the Warmfield enclave in Colorado. Unable to accept that reanimated humans lose all passion for their former lives, Jorge's obsession drives him to cross the boundary between life and death.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Robert Silverberg presents a poignant masterpiece exploring mortality, grief, and emotional detachment. Essential reading for fans of Ursula K. Le Guin, Philip K. Dick, and speculative fiction literature.
