The Way of All Flesh - Corey Furman - Bog

- Illusions Can Be Real

Bag om The Way of All Flesh

From the back cover: In a merciless future, mankind mass-produces simulants, living human analogues, to be the slavish workforce of the future. This is the life Maré and Luna were born into: chattel, possessed with a limited lifespan and bereft of personhood. Joss Breylin, empowered by good grades and a connected father, started out life with far more potential than most humans. He marries the woman of his dreams and they acquire Maré and Luna to help raise the children they hope to have. They adapt when they are unable by allowing the girls to become surrogates, but horrific tragedy strikes. As Joss' sanity teeters in the aftermath, he vacillates between doting parent to the girls of his memory and torturer of the girls of the present. Regardless of form or origins, all face choices, hardship and loss, love and triumph on the path that is The Way of All Flesh. This book should appeal to those who have enjoyed books such as Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick and Neuromancer by William Gibson, or the movie Blade Runner directed by Ridley Scott.
