Description

"At AuroroTech, we record your actions and your words, then transform that data into a lifelike simulation. After that, the possibilities are endless. Imagine meeting yourself, being able to experience what others truly see and hear when they talk to you. Imagine if your friends and family could always keep in touch, no matter how busy you are. Imagine if in a hundred years from now, a part of you remains for future generations to interact with."When Persephone Kilard signed up and strapped on the miniature recorder, all she wanted was a social networking service that would take the actual work of socializing off of her hands. Fringe religious groups could wax poetic about deeper meanings and universal truths; she just wanted to make her life a little easier.After all, the simulation was only supposed to be her reflection, not her soul.But there was one small glitch. Suddenly Persephone's digital profile has a mind of its own. Face to face with herself, Persephone is forced to confront questions about the nature of identity that she'd rather avoid. She'd better figure it out quickly, though, because hers isn't the only mind lurking in AuroroTech's drives and networks.Somewhere, hidden in the code, a simulated ghost is watching her while the border between reality and replica unravels. The virtual danger is becoming all too real, and both versions of Persephone need to uncover the truth if either is going to have a chance to survive.
