The Postmortal is a 2009 satirical science fiction novel by Drew Magary.The book is presented as a historically preserved diary, following a man named John Farrell from 2019 to 2079. In 2019, scientists find a cure for aging, and it becomes a widespread treatment with just as much backlash as there is support. Despite the novel spanning sixty years, John remains at his “cure age” of 29 throughout, as people come and go throughout his life and the population keeps climbing.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); }) | |

All First-Person Narrators Write Like Novelists: While the tone is certainly playful, John writes incredibly eloquently for a divorce lawyer keeping a journal. | |

| The Postmortal / int_6d332aea | comment |
Driven to Suicide: John’s father, who doesn’t actively kill himself, but picks up unhealthy habits with the sole, ultimately successful goal of giving himself cancer and then denying treatment. Additionally, the book ends with John readying himself a shot of the same poison he uses as an end specialist. | |
