An old man, come to the end of a long life, yet afraid to die, goes into suspended animation, hoping to awaken in a future where he will be young again. The future in which he finds himself is nothing like the high-tech world he imagined. Instead, it is an almost empty world, mysterious and utterly enchanting, a world in which he must, somehow, make a place for himself. Almost Forever is the story of the last man in the universe, alone and frightened, unable to understand what has happened to him, to the Earth, to a world in which even the stars are strange and new. There are no people here, but there are beings from whom he can learn what it means to be alive again.
