Success and failure, reason and passion, Blair and Roslyn. When these two roommates volunteer for a brain mapping experiment at Michigan University, all they’re looking for is one last shared experience to cap off their semester together. Despite Roslyn’s misgivings, Blair leaves her behind and enters the imaging chamber without a care in the world.
Then fifty years pass in the blink of an eye.
Blair wakes up alone in New York City, far removed from everyone she’s ever loved, including Roslyn. She’s been murdered, but a digital copy of her mind remains trapped inside a synthetic body. With the help of a cheery young AI and a street-savvy private investigator, she resolves to hunt down her killer before they can strike again.
But Blair soon discovers she’s not quite alone as she believed; Roslyn’s memories are still alive inside her. In pursuing the mystery, these two head-mates learn their deaths may be as closely linked as their new lives. It’s a test of cooperation and compromise for these polar opposites, and if they fail, one or both of them could be deleted forever. They’ll either live together, or die alone.
Rating & Review
5 out of 5
This was a captivating, wild ride from start to finish. The opening draws you in, and Gillette does such an amazing job immersing you in the story that the real world falls away around you, and before you know it, you’re experiencing everything right along with Blair and Roslyn. I was intrigued by the blurb, but wasn’t sure how well the premise could be carried out – and was absolutely blown away by how well it was done. The depth and breadth of emotion that is conveyed, and the tension that comes with it is immense. The story itself has good pacing, and the mystery and stakes are high. If you enjoy cyberpunk stories that get your heart-racing, and keep you enthralled for hours, then this is a book you absolutely need to read.
