▲'''''I Will Fear No Evil''''' is a novel by [[Robert A. Heinlein]], originally published in 1970.
Johann Smith was obscenely old and extremely rich. In a gambit to cheat death, he forms a plan to have his brain transplanted into a new, young body. Against all odds, a successful transplant is performed and Johann now begins a new life... as Joan. Learning how the other half lives is a tough order, and Joan may or may not be hearing the soul of her deceased donor inside her head.
Line 21 ⟶ 35:
* [[Posthumous Character]]: After {{spoiler|Eunice Branca}} is killed and Johann's brain is transplanted into her body, he finds her mind still present. It is left ambiguous whether she is actually still there or whether Johann is hallucinating her continued existence.
* [[Symbiotic Possession]]: Between Joan and {{spoiler|Eunice Branca}}, the former owner of the body. It gets more complicated late in the book.
* [[Twenty Minutes
* [[Xanatos Gambit]]: Johann admits {{spoiler|he had no intention of surviving the transplant. The entire idea was a legal way to die. He figured if it worked, he would be in a young, mobile body so life would be worth living again (or he would at least be physically capable of ending it himself).}}
