Kay Foster wasn't supposed to survive the accident. She did — but not in the body she started with.When Dr.

Alexander Eldridge brings her back, it's not a rescue. It's the completion of thirty years of research he never expected to finish this way: a human consciousness, transferred whole into a synthetic body built to outlast anything flesh can survive.

Kay opens her eyes in a lab, looks down at hands that aren't hers, and has to answer a question no one has ever really had to answer before.Am I still me?She didn't ask for any of it — not the accident, not the miracle, not what it means to keep going once the thing everyone assumed was fixed about a person turns out to be negotiable. As the world outside the lab reacts to what she's become, Kay has to figure out who she is now, what she owes the man who saved her, and how much of the woman she used to be actually made the trip.A science-fiction story about identity, survival, and the strange grief of becoming something unprecedented — for readers of Klara and the Sun, Altered Carbon, and Project-J.
