Description
Audrey's father taught her that to stay human in the modern world, she had to build a moat around herself; a moat of books and music, philosophy and dreams. This protective barrier makes Audrey different from the echoes: sophisticated, emotionless machines built to resemble humans and work for human masters.
Daniel is an echo, but he's not like the others. He feels a connection with Audrey - a feeling Daniel knows he was never designed to have, and cannot explain. When Audrey is placed in terrible danger, Daniel is determined to save her. This powerful story explores what makes us truly human, and the boundaries between love, loss, and existence.
