Robert Sheckley

#5161 of 8,085 books · #1058 in Science Fiction

Shortlisted for the Hugo Award for Best Novel (1959).

Thomas Blaine remembered the car accident that killed him—and then he woke up in the hospital. A nurse told him where he was. "You'd call it being in the future." A future where bodies are sold to the highest bidder as new homes for the minds of the rich, who are greedy for more life when their own bodies wear out or are damaged. Suddenly, keeping body and soul together has taken on a new, and very sinister, meaning. Time Killer was nominated for the Hugo Award.
