Paperback. A prescient 1970s sci-fi novel about death, celebrity, and the ubiquity of reality television, and the basis for the movie Death Watch.Katherine Mortenhoe lives in a near future very similar to the present day. Only in her time, dying from anything but old age is unheard of; death has been cured. So when Katherine is diagnosed with a terminal brain disease brought on by an inability to process an ever increasing volume of sensory input, she immediately becomes a celebrity to the pain-starved public. But Katherine rejects her tragic role: She will not agree to be the star of a Human Destiny TV show, her last days will not be documented or broadcast. What she doesnt realize is that from the moment of diagnosis shes been watched, not only by television producers but by a new kind of program host, a man with a camera behind his unsleeping eyes.Like Margaret Atwoods MaddAddam trilogy, Kazuo Ishiguros Never Let Me Go, and the television series Black Mirror, The Continuous Katherine Mortenhoe is a thrilling psychological drama that is as wise about human nature as it is about the nature of technology. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
