Summary:
For the past five years, she has been grown slowly as part of a mixed organic/man made family. She understands very little about her android mother’s past, so when her grandmother will come and attacks them, youthful Amy wastes virtually no time: she eats her alive. Now she’s away from home, transporting her malfunctioning granny being a partition on her behalf memory travel. She’s growing quickly, and learning as well. Like the reality that in her, and her only, the failsafe that stops all robots from harming human beings has stopped functioning… Meaning everyone wants a bit of her, some to use her being a weapon, others to destroy her. “Ashby’s debut is a fantastic adventure story that carries a sly philosophical payload about power and privilege, gender and race. It is profound, and it is hardly ever boring.” – Cory Doctorow “vN could just be one of the most piercing interrogation of humanoid AI since Asimov kicked everything off with the Three Laws.” – Peter Watts
