Publisher's Synopsis
After a high-profile attack on the world's premier robotics corporation destroys their robot-consciousness program, an unfortunate coincidence leaves Stewart Anders framed as a primary suspect. Recently-hired CEO Lauren Care, with the help of the paramilitary Department of Criminal Investigation, launches a pursuit. During the DCI's relentless hunt, the nature and potential consequences of robot-consciousness are addressed, and the complexity of the issue is brought to light. When an opportunity to resurrect the project emerges, is it the right choice?
