Life sucks and then you die...a Cyberpunk family drama from the Nebula and Compton Crook award finalist and acclaimed blogger.

LIFE SUCKS AND THEN YOU DIE- A wildly inventive cyberpunk family drama set in a dystopian world run by the afterlife, from a Nebula Award finalist.

"A brilliant, original world . . . a wild ride from start to finish." -Sarah Gailey, author of Magic for Liars

In the near future, the minds of the deceased are uploaded into the computer network, where they control the world from the afterlife. For those still on Earth, living is just waiting to die-and maintaining the vast servers which support digital Heaven.

For one orphan that just isn't enough. He wants more for himself and his sister than a life of slaving away for the dead. And it turns out he's not the only one who wants to reset the world...

Industry Reviews

"Steinmetz has crafted a brilliant, original world in this all-too-possible story of life, death, and legacy. The Uploaded is a wild ride from start to finish, and asks the reader to examine what exactly it is that they are leaving behind -- and what they're headed toward."
- Sarah Gailey

"Witty, funny, thought provoking, plausible in its outrageousness, utterly indefatigable, revelatory and a bunch of other positive adjectives, oh and poignant."
- Koeur's Book Reviews

"A very engaging book. 4.5 hoots!"
- Purple Owl Reviews

"I've said it before and I'll say it again: this guy should be a super-bestseller. There's no good excuse why he isn't. I'm a total fanboy because he's just got the writing chops to pull just about anything off."
- Brad K Horner

"A great standalone with exceptional world building. Books like this are why I read science fiction: huge ethical questions, dark not entirely unfamiliar worlds and massive concepts. A great book, and definitely one that will have me searching out Steinmetz's back catalogue."
- Moon Magister Reviews

"One wild ride."
- Books, Bones & Buffy

"If you enjoy dystopian science fiction reads with plenty of action, then I recommend this one."
- Brainfluff

"Steinmetz is a clever writer indeed. He has hidden an examination of one of mankind's biggest questions (what happens when you die?) in a novel filled with plenty of action, snarky characters, and a lovable pony sidekick."
- Speculative Chic

"I pretty much love everything I've read from Ferrett Steinmetz, and The Uploaded is no exception."
- Pop Culture Beast

"A great standalone with exceptional world building. Books like this are why I read science fiction: huge ethical questions, dark not entirely unfamiliar worlds and massive concepts."
- Lord Belatiel

"In the grand tradition of thoughtful future science fiction that comments on our present, it's as pointed a social satire as you're likely to find this side of the Upterlife."
- Barnes & Noble Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog

"A very unique concept and a well written science fiction thriller."
- Caitstiel's Book World

"It has a really interesting idea behind it and world and characters are fun. So give it a try."
- Being a CFO

"4 out of 5 stars"
- The Artolater

"It's over-the-top. It's funny, moving, tragic, and eventually triumphant, though at high cost for all the characters. It's cleverly and skilfully written."
- The Review Curmudgeon
