Excerpt From Book 1, The Karma Sequence:
PROLOGUE
On a
highway heading toward Copenhagen, a man was sitting behind the wheel of his
car in the early morning traffic. He was on his way to work from his home
outside Køge—a town south of the Danish capital.
Traffic
flowed quietly, as it normally did. Not fast, but perfectly acceptable. On a
typical day, he spent the time in the car reviewing his plan for the day and
the suggestions and comments he’d prepared in the evening for his various
projects.
He was in his
early forties and had a relatively exciting job as a project manager in a
software company, which he’d advanced to through many years of working in
system development. He often missed the direct participation in designing and
programming the systems the company delivered—mainly to the banking sector. But
with the position he’d now advanced to, he had more responsibility and was
better paid.
In his
private life, he’d married a sweet woman eight years younger than himself. She
worked in Køge and consequently didn’t have to leave as early in the morning as
he did. They’d played badminton together for many years and were both in good
shape. They jogged frequently and had some exercise equipment in the basement,
which he mainly used. In addition, he tried to be conscious of his diet and
habits, though occasionally, there had to be space to relax and enjoy himself.
Although he
had much sedentary work, with meetings and planning, he still felt he was as
fit as he’d been in his twenties.
Two months
earlier, he’d also paid a professional firm to prepare a full report on his
health and prospects—based on an extensive questionnaire and a mouth swab he
had to perform on himself and submit in an envelope he’d received from the
firm. Besides a series of analyses and recommendations, the report—or document,
as the company called it—also included predictions of which risk categories one
might fall into with age, and an estimate of how old one would become. It
estimated his life expectancy at ninety-two years, which he was pretty happy
with. Still, he reminded himself that this was a calculation with very few
inputs. Being a system developer, he understood it was a simple algorithm that
did the math—there was no guarantee.
But he’d
noticed one small thing in the document he’d received that looked like a
mistake. After the calculated expectation of how old he’d get, there was an odd
number that looked entirely out of place. The number was 15,529, and there was
no indication of what it meant, so a part of his analytical mind had seen it as
a technical challenge and had set about finding possible explanations—besides
the most likely, that it was a mistake and that the number was completely
random and insignificant. But because it stood next to the field showing life
expectancy, one of his first hypotheses had been that it might be the number of
days in his life.
Even before
he’d divided the number by 365, he could easily see that it wouldn’t give
ninety-two years, and as it only showed about forty-two, it confirmed his
initial assessment that it must be an error with a random value. Still, part of
him couldn’t shake the idea, and when he added the number to his date of birth
in a spreadsheet, the result showed that he’d die on May 15th, that year.
And that was
today.
When he’d
seen the result, he tried to push the thought away, blaming himself for taking
his own far-fetched guess seriously. The number was some sort of error; it was
impossible to predict how many days a person would live. He’d promised himself
not to think about it anymore and never to purchase a similar analysis again,
but to rely more on his own assessments of his health and habits.
But despite
his rational conclusion, the stupid document had made him spot danger
everywhere the past few days. And when he looked in the rearview mirror, he
could see a man in a car, two positions behind him, that he thought had also
been there the day before, possibly even the day before that. Even though many
people went to work using the same highway every morning, he still found it
strange to spot the same car at the same distance, two—maybe three—days in a
row. Especially since the car had also been there when he went home from work.
It was difficult to dismiss as pure coincidence.
As he
squinted to see if he could get a better look at the man behind the wheel, the
traffic came to a stretch of roadwork that had been going on for a while and
where oncoming traffic was being diverted onto one of the lanes on the same
side as the many cars heading into town.
In the
mirror, it looked like the man was trying to signal to him with open mouth and
wild gestures.
He shifted
his focus back to the road ahead, but before he could react, he realized he’d
crossed into the wrong lane, and a split second later, he collided head-on with
a large truck going at high speed in the opposite direction.
