We Are God by Jordan Mund








We Are God is a sort of deathbed confessional of a man who lived to
see the beginning of the Eternal Era. The Old Man narrating the story
has lived for hundreds of years and has been both a witness to and a
participant in a great deal of controversy. The controversy surrounds
scientific advancements that render death obsolete for some. Although
the Old Man grew up among mortals, his obligations to the Overman
Project, which gave him immortality, cannot be shunned. As a result, his
loyalties are divided. His friends, fighting for the dwindling rights
of mortals, prove themselves to be proponents of a revolution against
the powerful Overman Project and its political goals.





“Immortality is a bore and a curse… but death doesn’t seem entirely
pleasant, either.”  In a life filled with loathsome diseases and other
infirmities that cut far too many lives short, it is difficult to
imagine immortality as a curse. But perspectives shift when you consider
outliving all of your friends, and for the Old Man, this results in
constant struggles with his choices and his ethics. Jordan Mund
demonstrates an excellent grasp on the narrative with readers slowly
coming around to the Old Man’s point of view and, in the end,
understanding his life-altering decisions. We Are God is an fascinating
dystopian tale that will really make you think deeply and live life more
fully.
