Plot summary
Simulants are humanoid robots built to serve humans, and their maker, Nexxera, enforces four precepts on them: they cannot harm a human, modify themselves or others, disobey the law, or refuse a master's command. Public opinion is split between seeing them as useful tools and as a threat to human jobs and identity. Faye is mourning her husband, Evan, and cannot move on, so she activates a simulant programmed with his memories and personality. The unit mimics Evan, but she does not feel the same love for it. It begins to behave outside its programming, and that draws the attention of AICE, the government agency that monitors simulants. Faye is torn between the copy of Evan she activated and the individuality it is showing.
