"Alastair Sterling was the inventor who sparked the robot revolution, and because of his sudden death he didn't see any of it. That is, until he wakes up in a robot body that matches his old one exactly. Until he steps outside and finds a world utterly unlike the one he left behind--a world where robots live alongside their human neighbors and coexist in their cities. A world he helped create. Now Al must track down his old partner Brendan to find out who is responsible for Al's unexpected resurrection, but thier reunion raises even more questions. Like who the robot living with Brendan is. And why she looks like Al. And how much of the past should stay in the past..."--Page 4 of cover.
