By the year 2021, the Great War has scorched the earth, leaving millions dead and whole species snuffed out like cigarette embers. With mankind scattered across the stars, the scraps of life left behind have become priceless trophies. For those who can’t afford the real thing, the corporations provide—mechanical sheep, tin-can birds, clockwork cats, and simulacra so lifelike they’ll make you swear they breathe.
On Mars, the settlers are gifted companions built in man’s image—androids polished so fine they could walk beside you in the crowd and never raise suspicion. Too fine, in fact.
