About the book

A bounty hunter tracks androids while questions of empathy, reality and personhood become increasingly unstable.

A natural fit for readers asking about artificial intelligence, empathy, identity, dystopian cities and what makes someone human.

The novel is compact but philosophically slippery, using a detective chase to unsettle human certainty.

It supports intent around AI, androids, identity, moral ambiguity and future anxiety.
