Holy Fire
 


 

Holy Fire is a cyberpunk science fiction novel by Bruce Sterling. It was published in 1996.


Synopsis

In an era when life expectancies stretch 100 years or more and adhering to healthy habits is the only way to earn better medical treatments, ancient "post humans" dominate society with their ubiquitous wealth and power. By embracing the safe and secure, 94-year-old Mia Ziemann has lived a long and quiet life. Too quiet, as she comes to realize, for Mia has lost the creative drive and ability to love -- the holy fire -- of the young. But when a radical new procedure makes Mia young again, she has the chance to break free of society's cloying grasp.
