Trailer for The Punch Escrow, a new hard science fiction book by Tal M. Klein

It’s summer in New York, 2471. Teleportation is the elite mode of transportation. Air pollution isn’t a problem anymore. Advanced nanotechnology has made everlasting life possible. Artificially intelligent things make daily chores a cinch. And yet for some reason, everybody seems to want Joel Byram dead. Trouble is, Joel doesn’t seem to want to die. Disavowed and hunted, he must reluctantly contend with the laws of both man and science to survive. Armed only with his wits and an encyclopedic knowledge of trivia, Joel isn’t giving up on reclaiming his life (and his wife). Don’t blame the mosquitoes though, they’re only helping.
