Abstract:
Charles Soule brings his signature knowledge - and wariness - of technology to his sophomore novel set in a realistic future about a brilliant female scientist who creates a technology that allows for the transfer of human consciousness between bodies, and the transformations this process wreaks upon the world.
General Note:
A search for a cure for Alzheimer's leads to a technology that allows individuals to transfer their consciousness to other bodies for specified periods, paid, registered, and legal. But beyond the reach of the law is darkshare, a sordid black market where desperate "vessels" anonymously rent out their bodies, no questions asked, for any purpose--sex, drugs, crime ... or worse.
