内容简介

By 2021, the World War had killed millions, driving entire species into extinction and sending mankind off-planet. Those who remained coveted any living creature, and for people who couldn't afford one, companies built incredibly realistic simulacrae: horses, birds, cats, sheep. . .

Emigrees to Mars received androids so sophisticated it was impossible to tell them from true men or women. Fearful of the havoc these artificial humans could wreak, the government banned them from Earth. But when androids didn't want to be identified, they just blended in.

黑暗的火焰已经苍白,生命力渐渐离她而去,就跟他以前见过的许多仿生人一样。经典的听天由命。它们只会识时务地机械地接受即将到来的毁灭,而真正的生命---在二十亿年的生存压力下进化出来的生命---永远不会就这样认命。
