Dispatches from a Future War by Rod Carstens

There are worse fates than death.

There was Mike who had ‘died’ three times and he didn’t want to do it again.

There was Maria who was having a hard time distinguishing between virtual deaths and the real thing.

There was Juan who salvaged the ‘dead’ only to see them returned to the front. He didn’t know how much longer he could do it.

Christian McCloud was a cyberpunk journalist he was no soldier. He fashioned downloads from celebrities memories. People all over the world paid good money to experience someone famous for a few hours. Now he was in the middle of a war. Instead of celebrities memories he was downloading the memories of the young men and women fighting this war but technology had changed the rules. War had always been about living and dying now technology was blurring the lines between the two. He was becoming one of them. He wasn’t sure he could survive.
