Mr. Charlie is a brain without a body, revived after being frozen for a thousand years. ** Charlie Outis has no idea of what the world might be like in the far future after he decides to have his brain frozen with the slim hope of it being revived one day. ** But even a thousand years from now, brains are a valuable commodity-even brains without heads. But who does the brain belong to? And who controls a mind without a body. ** Solis is a thought provoking and original exploration of what it means to be a sentient being by the author of the highly acclaimed Radix Tetrad, and an author, the Los Angeles Times calls "a truly amazing, original talent."
