Publisher's Synopsis
Artificial intelligence is a reality in the not too distant future. The giant AHS Robotic Systems Inc. has combined advanced robotics, electronics and polymer technology to create the myPAL, a robot capable of self-awareness and consciousness. It is virtually identical to a human in all regards.
Unfortunately, the dream of a robot in every home is far from reality. At over a million dollars, only the rich can afford these playthings and can do with them as they please. Robots have no rights. Brad and Mags live an idyllic, loving life together in London. His job as a city currency trader gave them all the trappings of luxury. Unfortunately, a series of events start to unfold around them, which will cause them to confront past demons, their place in the world, and the very nature of humanity. In a world where artificially intelligent robots are real, what is love, hate and cruelty?
