The Postmortal examines what would happen if one basic change was made to
our modern society and follows it to its terrifying conclusion. In this case,
it's the discovery of the gene that causes aging, and a cheap, simple "cure"
that stops it. Suddenly, no one dies. Of course, while this seems like a good
thing -- especially for the people who can take it while in the prime of their
life -- it has its downsides. If this sounds a bit like the plot of Torchwood:
Miracle Day, it is; but while the new season of Torchwood is about the mystery
of no one dying, along with some action scenes, The Postmortal depicts the
ramifications of that "simple" change throughout society for decades -- how
the cure can be abused by crazy people, evil people, and rich people. How
civilization as we know it can be fundamentally unraveled by one simple change,
whose consequences span eternity -- because when you're effectively immortal,
you have time to watch everything fall apart.
