When a Norwegian professor discovers a strange translucent mollusk in an ordinary codfish, he doesn't yet know he's discovered the key to immortality. The creature's cells are capable of regenerating any human organ-from the kidney to the brain. Death recedes, giving way to an "age of miracles."This is a story about the limits of the human self, the quiet horror of uncertainty, and how biology isn't everything.
