    About this audiobook

    Robert Sawyer has won many awards for his science fiction, which is praised for its blend of high-tech mystery and suspenseful pacing. An experiment has gone terribly wrong. Dr. Peter Hobson has created three electronic simulations of his own personality. One will test life after death; another, immortality. The third one is the control unit. But now all three have escaped from Hobson's computer into the worldwide electronic matrix. And one of them is a killer.

      I would have given this 5 stars , if I had read it during the 90's , I have read other books about downloading consciousness to a mainframe .but definitely a shocker about which one did the deeds.
    • 5/5
      Got back to reading this book @ least 18 years after I initially read it. Still riveting and captivating and exhilarating.
