The Worthing Saga by Orson Scott Card

In a universe where humans have mastered the art of "Somec," a form of suspended animation that allows them to sleep through centuries, the story unfolds around Jason Worthing, a telepathic man who has lived for thousands of years. As he awakens on a distant planet, he grapples with the consequences of his past actions, which include the manipulation of entire civilizations. Through a series of interconnected tales, the narrative explores themes of power, morality, and the human condition, ultimately questioning the cost of immortality and the true essence of humanity.
