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.
Content Warnings: Death, gaslighting, violence, suicidal ideation, radical ideologies, codependency, transphobia, violation, child in peril
My thoughts: I really enjoyed this book, it’s a clever, future set thriller, where you can upload your consciousness into a replica body when you die. Unfortunately Blair is missing the last 50 years of memories, and doesn’t know what’s going on. Thankfully between the AI past her built and the PI she hired, they’ve got it covered. Oh, and she’s sharing head space with her former BFF, college roommate and ex-girlfriend Roslyn.
Both women have the knowledge and skills needed to survive the dangerous future they find themselves in, as long as they don’t fall out. And you thought sharing a room was hard! Try sharing your whole body.
Hopefully book two would be out in the not too distant future as there’s lots of mysteries still to unpack and I want more!
