Why Call Them Back From Heaven? by Clifford D. Simak

In a future society where the promise of immortality drives human behavior, people invest their lives and resources into a corporation that stores their bodies for eventual resurrection. The narrative explores the ethical and philosophical implications of this quest for eternal life, revealing the societal divisions and moral dilemmas that arise when humanity's focus shifts from living in the present to an uncertain future. As the protagonist uncovers hidden truths about the corporation's operations, the story delves into themes of trust, deception, and the true cost of forsaking the present for the hope of an everlasting tomorrow.
