Publisher's Synopsis
Max Cooper, a stoic straight-faced collector, receives an assignment that isn't quite what it seems: A woman with no past and possibly no future, he must choose between calling her in or saving her life. His decision made more difficult by her steady revealing of existential truths that not only challenge his way of thinking but perhaps of humanity's too.
"Life will always be a paradox to you because out of the meaningless you create meaning, which at the same moment does not really exist yet is justified and felt deeply."
This sci-fi novella balances probing questions and philosophical conversations about the value of human life with a relentless guns-blazing pursuit from mad scientists, criminal gangs, and illegal androids.
Set in LA 2053, where the world has been ravaged by environmental disaster and climate change, and citizens seemingly live-out technologically immersed and trivial lives, Max must discover if there is anything worth living for... and then decide if it is worth dying for.
