When we first meet Kit, she's a fox. Nineteen-year-old Kit works for the research department of
Shen Corporation as a phenomenaut. She's been
“jumping”--projecting her consciousness, through a
neurological interface--into the bodies of lab-grown animals
made for the purpose of research for seven years, which is
longer than anyone else at ShenCorp, and longer than any of
the scientists thought possible. She experiences a multitude of other lives--fighting and
fleeing as predator and prey, as mammal, bird, and
reptile--in the hope that her work will help humans better
understand the other species living alongside them. Her closest friend is Buckley, her Neuro--the computer
engineer who guides a phenomenaut through consciousness
projection. His is the voice, therefore, that's always in
Kit's head and is the thread of continuity that connects her
to the human world when she's an animal. But when ShenCorp's
mission takes a more commercial--and ominous--turn, Kit is
no longer sure of her safety. Propelling the reader into the bodies of the other creatures
that share our world, The Many Selves of Katherine North
takes place in the near future but shows us a dazzling world
far, far from the realm of our experience.
