"Distraught and hopeless, an eighteen-year-old distance runner, Regan, decides to end her life. And she'll do it through an unusual new method available only on the dark web. Enter Ulle, a woman with amnesia, who will, inadvertently, make Regan's wish come true. Soon Ulle begins to remember her past and the outrageous steps her government took to combat a deadly pandemic of parasitic infections, which have brought her to this new country and to Regan's house. Meanwhile, Regan might be changing her mind, and she finds herself more and more concerned about keeping both Ulle and herself alive. But the shadowy organization that brought them together wants to keep them both quiet - permanently. A Suitable Companion for the End of Your Life is a darkly comic dystopian tale that probes our anxieties around boundaries, whether territorial or bodily, and our fraught desire not to die alone."-- Provided by publisher

The book explores the tension between judicial authority and democratic legitimacy, positing that judges often limit their exercise of power to maintain an appearance of democratic fairness. It argues that this restraint can lead to the erosion of individual rights, as the judiciary prioritizes its legitimacy over full protection of those rights. Through this analysis, the author critiques the balance between judicial responsibility and the imperative to uphold personal freedoms in a democratic society.
