The Last Uploaded Girl book

Neve Halloran looks after the dead. Every night she checks the servers at Harrowby Point, where forty thousand people live on as digital copies. In eight months she'll join them. Her disease is taking her memory, and she has booked her death while there's still enough of her left to copy.

Then, on a routine night check, she finds a file with her own name on it.

It was copied twenty months ago, from a hospital scan she was told was harmless. It remembers things she has already lost. And someone at the company is trying very hard to delete it.

The law says a copy of a living person is no one, and must be destroyed. Anyone who protects it faces fourteen years in prison. To save the one version of herself that still remembers the rest, Neve must go up against a corporation, the courts, a killer, and her own failing mind. She has one question to answer: if you can't remember who you were, who gets to decide who goes on?

A high-concept near-future thriller about memory, identity and what we owe the people we used to be.
