We Can Build You
Description
In a near-future America where advanced technology can recreate the dead, a struggling piano manufacturer turns to the construction of lifelike historical simulacra in hopes of saving his business. As the company’s ambitions grow, questions of identity, authenticity, and free will become increasingly difficult to separate from the demands of commerce—and from the unstable perceptions of those involved. Blending speculative technology with psychological unease and dark satire, the novel explores what it means to be human in a world where personality and history can be manufactured.
