Goodreads beskrivning
In the near future, humans choose life - for a
price. Injectable nanite technology is the lifeblood that flows through
every individual wishing to experience the world through the lens of
their own theme. While death from mortal wounds is still possible, life
is made easier in a socially liberated society where automation and
income equality allow passion pursuits to flourish over traditional
work. Renewal stations are provided to every law-abiding citizen for
weekly check-ins, which issue life-sustaining repairs in exchange for
personal privacy. But what becomes of those who check out, of those who
dare to resist immortality and risk being edited under the gaze of an
identity-extracting government surveillance system?
When Holly Winseed wakes up in a hospital room, her memory compromised and a new identity imposed on her, a team of government agents wastes no time stating their objective. With intent to infiltrate and defeat the terrorist group ICON, the agents tell Holly that she is now a Provisional Replica and has one week to hunt down and kill her Original for the murder of her husband, Jonathan. If she succeeds, she’ll assume her Original’s place in society. If she fails, her life will end. Holly’s progress is monitored by an assigned contact that feeds her information as she confronts the blank, robotic world around her, discovering that others view life through the theme of their own choosing.
With her newly implanted combat and deduction skills, Holly fends off both attacks by terrorists and doubts about her own trustworthiness as clues lead her to her Original - and to the truth about Jonathan. In the end, one body remains and one walks away. Although questions persist, one thing is certain: Life will never be the same.

Mina åsikter
Jag lyssnade på den här boken som ljudbok! Boken hade en väldigt bra uppläsare! Boken var väldigt spännane och intressant! Jag ville bara fortsätta lyssna för att få reda på vad som komma skulle. Precis som alltid när Sanderson är inblandad så hade den här boken en fantastisk världsuppbyggnad och fascinerande karaktärer. Det var många oförutsägbara twists and turns. Jag önskar bara att boken var längre! Jag hade velat ha mer och önskat att jag fått grotta ned mig ännu mer i världen och karaktärerna.
Mitt betyg
Boken får 4 av 5 stjärnor i betyg.
