The continuous Katherine Mortenhoe

Used - In a future not too far from our present, medical science has managed to conquer death. The few exceptions provide the material for a new television program aimed at mass audiences eager to witness the live deaths of other people. When Katherine Mortenhoe is told she has four weeks to live, she knows that it is not only her life that is about to be lost, but also her privacy. Katherine is diagnosed with a terminal brain disease caused by the inability to process an ever-increasing volume of sensory information, and she immediately becomes a celebrity for a "pain-hungry" public. Katherine will not accept being the star of the program; her final days will not be recorded by any camera. But she is unaware that from the moment of her diagnosis she has been watched not only by television producers but by a new kind of camera-less journalist who records her with his own unblinking eye.Like Margaret Atwood's MaddAddam trilogy, Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go, and the television series Black Mirror, The Continuum Katherine Mortenhoe (1974) is a thrilling psychological drama that examines human nature in a technological setting.
