Bob Johansson has just sold his software company and is looking forward to a life of leisure. The safest place for Bob is in space, heading away from Earth at top speed. If he declines the honor, he'll be switched off, and they'll try again with someone else. Bob wakes up a century later to find that corpsicles have been declared to be without rights, and he is now the property of the state. Or so he thinks.
