β¦ Synopsis
Hundreds of years in the future, there are pockets of civilization, and humans are few. There is advanced technology to sustain us. There are robots to do the heavy lifting. And there are reclones. E. A. Smithe is a borrowed person, his personality an uploaded recording of a deceased mystery writer. Smithe is the property of the library system, not a legal human. As such, Smithe can be loaned to other branches. Which he is. Along with two fellow reclones, a cookbook and romance writer, they are shipped to a secluded seaside town where Smithe meets a little girl who wants to save her mother, a father who is dead but perhaps not. And another E. A. Smithe who definitely is.
