A powerful story of deceit versus informed consent, of cowardice and heroism

Synopsis: In the near future, the wealthy and talented benefit from vastly-extended lifespans due to a revolutionary drug. A group of futuristic underground Robin Hoods are doing their best to see that the "ordinary" people have the chance to enjoy some of those benefits. But there's a Judas in their midst: one who has neither their goals, nor their best interests, in mind...

What I thought: This is a powerful story of "haves" versus "have nots", of deceit versus informed consent, of cowardice and heroism, of betrayal and retribution and remorse and repentance. I do not recommend reading this when spoon levels are low--but I definitely recommend reading it.
