Like a replicant, or “technohuman,” Detective Bruna Husky knows a couple of things: humans bioengineered her to perform dangerous, undesirable tasks, and she has just a decade on the United States of Earth before her body automatically self-destructs. But with “antitechno” rage increasing and a rash of early deaths striking her fellow replicants, she may possess even less time than she thought. Investigating the incomprehensible fatalities, Bruna delves into the fractious, violent background shared by humans and replicants, and challenges to activate the society that does not understand her – yet produced her. The deeper she gets, the deadlier her function becomes as she uncovers a huge, terrifying conspiracy bent on changing the course of the globe. But even while the darkness of her reality closes in, Bruna clings fiercely to life.
