She does make new/old friends again though and these two end up helping her not only deal with accepting her arm but also figure out what is happening to her and why people who work in her parent's companies children are ending up dead. She is understandably upset about this considering her views on robotics, but things get worse as her 'friends' abandon her. Lena is very against this and is anti-tech for the most part, but her entire world ends up changing when she gets into an accident that causes her to have a robotic arm. Lena is a young woman whose parents are very into tech and run a tech company that specializes in robotics, and have also started working on making robotic limbs for people that will act and eventually look exactly like real body parts do. I did enjoy it enough that I will be checking out the sequels, and for that I rate this 3.5 stars (rounded up to 4). I actually really enjoyed the sci-fi/thriller parts of the story but I found Lena to be a bit irritating at times, for example she blames her parents for the car accident with no mention of the fact she had been out partying with friends and lost concentration whilst driving. Lena is definitely one of the 'Against' camp and this is only heightened by her experiences following her accident. The story itself is an interesting one, examining the ever-closer arrival of humanoid AI, what is means to be human, and the arguments from both sides. Is Lena guilty of murder and if she is, why is she killing them?įirst of all let me tell you that I bought this book initially for the cover - it looks amazing on the Kindle version - the photo on here doesn't do it justice. When the children of CyberCorp employees are murdered, Lena realises to her her horror that she doesn't have alibis for the murders because she was sleepwalking when they occurred.
The other passenger in the accident ex-boyfriend, Jackson, is more amenable to the technology, but Lena can't shake the terrible headaches, then she starts sleepwalking. She hates the technology and when she is involved in a car accident that leads to her being fitted with a more advanced cybernetic arm, she is furious with her parents. Lena's parents own CyberCorp, a company which is on the brink of mass producing the first batch of humanoid robots to carry out the more mundane aspects of daily life, but Lena is old-school.
