The Man Who Stopped Aging

A dystopian novel about time, memory, and the quiet cost of survival

What if aging could be slowed—deliberately, even scientifically? Would you do it?

And if you did, who would you become?

William is ninety years old. His mind is sharp. His body is astonishingly resilient.

But the world around him is coming apart.

Long after most have given in to time, William clings to a life shaped by knowledge, solitude, and the faint hope that the human lifespan can be stretched further still. He has read the research. Taken the risks. And now, in a society unraveling at the edges, he embarks on a final journey—not to escape death, but to understand what truly gives life meaning.

As his memories surface—some warm, some unbearable—William is forced to confront the cost of the choices he’s made.

Can you hold onto humanity while trying to outrun time?
