From multiple Xyzzy award-winning author Simon Christiansen comes a haunting story of spirituality, technology, and our relationship with the dead.

Copenhagen, the future. When Kristian Vinther started his postdoc in a robotics lab, he didn't expect the doctor in charge to be building Power Armor for Poltergeists! In return for his help, Kristian will be reunited with his dead wife.

Now, Kristian works to make spirits stalk the streets in gleaming, military-grade power armor equipped with bazookas, booster rockets, roller skates, and any tool known to man.

The government is not about to let private enterprise monopolize such powerful technology and seize the armors, including Kristian's wife. If they have their way, the wars of the future will be fought by your dead grandma encased in chrome and steel. If Kristian wants to see his wife again, he must either join them or defeat them.

As the city burns, Kristian must decide whether his loyalties lie with the doctor, the government, or the hulking monstrosity that was once his wife. Will the dead be treated as commercial products, tools of the state, or as people allowed to find peace?

The book also contains three short, surreal poems elucidating the themes of the story from different perspectives.
