Więcej o książce

In a future where rising seas have transformed landscapes and wealth divides society, San Francisco remains a haven for the affluent, guarded by drones against the impoverished. Irina, equipped with an artificial memory that grants her perfect recall, navigates this world as a mediator between her wealthy employers and their complex AIs. Her lucrative job allows her to afford annual treatments at the Mayo Clinic, staving off aging. In stark contrast, Kern lives in the drone-constructed favelas, surviving as a thief and martial artist, while Thales, a member of a Brazilian political family, has escaped to L.A. after a violent attack that left him disabled and orphaned. A chance encounter with a mysterious stranger prompts Thales to confront his own memories, while Kern's life is upended after a robbery goes wrong. Irina uncovers a hidden secret through a reflection in her employer's glasses. As these characters' lives intertwine, they are drawn together by unseen forces, each facing their own struggles for survival and understanding in a tumultuous world. This gripping narrative explores themes of memory, identity, and the fragility of life.
