Description
When a mission goes wrong, Mickey7—an expendable “disposable” worker—dies and is replaced, again and again, by a system designed to keep the job going no matter the cost. As he’s repeatedly reconstituted for new assignments on a hostile frontier, Mickey begins to question what it means to be the same person when each version carries only fragments of memory and identity. Blending dark humor with high-stakes science fiction, the story explores survival, corporate control, and the moral weight of treating human lives as consumable resources. With Edward Ashton’s sharp, propulsive storytelling and keen attention to character psychology, this is a tense, thought-provoking ride through the ethics of progress and the fragile boundaries of self.
