Summary:
Welcome to the year 2252—and congratulations! You’re now a
personality construct. We know that can be a daunting stage of
personal development, especially if you don’t remember making this
life-changing decision. But we’re here to help….Helen is waking to a
dark new reality—one that she’s certain she didn’t choose. In this
borrowed existence, she finds an unexpected guide in Judy, a
geisha-faced virgin who’s on a mission of her own. Together, the two
of them begin a dangerous run through dozens of imagined worlds in an
attempt to trap a psychopath haunting the shadowed areas of virtual
space—a killer who brutally murdered an earlier version of Helen and
who plans to kill again. Meanwhile, Justinian is investigating a
peculiar rash of AI suicides on far-off planets—and finds that not
only is there more to these “deaths” than he thought, but that they
may be linked to his wife Anya’s mysterious coma.In a future where
AIs have taken over human life and the Environment Agency runs
everything for our own good, the fact that we can live on after
physical death as sentient digital beings should have been a good
thing. Instead, as Helen and Justinian are about to discover, it just
means there are more ways to die.
