Science Fiction
Robert J. Sawyer's Hominids, the first volume of
his
bestselling Neanderthal Parallax trilogy, won the 2003
Hugo
Award, and its sequel, Humans, was a 2004 Hugo
nominee. Now he's back with a pulse-pounding, mind-
expanding
standalone novel, rich with his signature philosophical
and
ethical speculations, all grounded in cutting-edge
science. Jake Sullivan has cheated death: he's discarded his
doomed
biological body and copied his consciousness into an
android
form. The new Jake soon finds love, something that eluded
him when he was encased in flesh: he falls for the
android
version of Karen, a woman rediscovering all the joys of
life
now that she's no longer constrained by a worn-out body
either. But suddenly Karen's son sues her, claiming that by
uploading into an immortal body, she has done him out of
his
inheritance. Even worse, the original version of Jake,
consigned to die on the far side of the moon, has taken
hostages there, demanding the return of his rights of
personhood. In the courtroom and on the lunar surface,
the
future of uploaded humanity hangs in the balance. Mindscan is vintage Sawyer -- a feast for the mind
and the heart.
