Description
A Borrowed Man: A Novel by Gene Wolfe In a future world that has inherited many of our familiar structures, humanity's population is small but advanced technology and robots coexist. E. A. Smithe is a unique individual - a clone who lives on a third-tier shelf in a public library, with a personality uploaded from a deceased mystery writer. Smithe's existence is one of property, not personhood, until he is borrowed by Colette Coldbrook, a wealthy patron desperate to uncover the secret contained within her murdered father's possession. A physical copy of his author's book, Murder on Mars, holds the key to immense family wealth and is now lost. With Smithe's help, Colette must navigate a complex web of clues to recover the book and avoid detection by the authorities. As their quest unfolds, the plot thickens with unexpected twists and turns, raising questions about identity, ownership, and the true value of human life.
