The Forever Sleep

A century ago, the World Government sold it as "Peace On Earth." All they did was convince the citizens of the world to download their minds into the internet, leaving their bodies floating in stasis tanks. Now Sergeant First Class(Ret) Scott Douglas was free to read a book in peace, without having to listen to the hippies and their endless whining. His only job was to walk through the stasis tanks once a day and check for problems. Then the Internet went down. Without it regulating their brains, humanity would be dead in a matter of days. It was up to Scott to save the hippies, even if all they did was complain.
