"I haven't had so much fun with a book since Kurt Vonnegut died." 
- Roselee Packham 

Jim Frost thinks that when youโ€™re dead, youโ€™re dead. Gone. Finished. Kaput. But on the eve of his seventy-third birthday, his daughter suggests he have his brain downloaded to a microchip for safekeeping, and Jim is forced to consider what it really means to dieโ€”and what it might mean to live forever. 

Do Not Resuscitate is the firsthand account of Jim Frost, an aging misanthropist who witnessed the rise and fall of the United States as a world power, the digitalization of the planet, the advent of the water wars, and the near collapse of the global economy. Yet he remains impervious to it all. Concerned more with his plasma TV, high-speed Internet, and continual supply of hash, twentysomething Jim takes an under-the-table job off Craigslist delivering mysterious red coolers to strangers in cafรฉs in an effort to pay the bills. But when Jimโ€™s enigmatic employer asks him to fly to North Korea for a delivery, Jim starts to wonder what heโ€™s gotten himself into.
