Description
Lia Kahn was perfect: rich, beautiful, popular -- until the accident that nearly killed her. Now she has been downloaded into a new body that only looks human. Lia will never feel pain again, she will never age, and she can't ever truly die. But she is also rejected by her friends, betrayed by her boyfriend, and alienated from her old life.
Forced to the fringes of society, Lia joins others like her. But they are looked at as freaks. They are hated...and feared. They are everything but human, and according to most people, this is the ultimate crime -- for which they must pay the ultimate price.

How did you come to write this book?
Very slowly and painfully, word by word, sentence by sentence, long whiny day in front of the computer by long whiny day...well, you get the idea. Big picture: I've always wondered if machines could think for themselves, and I finally decided the best way to get my answer would be to ask a (fictional) machine.
"A spellbinding story about loss, rebirth, and finding out who we really are inside."
-- Scott Westerfeld, author of the Uglies series
