ARAMID:
A Futuristic Sci-Fi Thriller...
|
She’s everything they ever wanted. And that’s the problem. “She” is Aramid. The year is 2080, and Human Replacement robots – or Reps – are an integrated part of society. At Ledgewood High in Los Angeles, five Advanced Robotics students build a female Rep named Aramid with plans to register her in a cut-throat competition to find the nation’s most lifelike robot. But complications quickly arise. The students begin to use her as a means to their own ends, illegally extracting Aramid’s “morality chip.” The Rep begins to unravel, exhibiting many of the same problems as her teenage creators – lying, stealing, jealousy and, worst of all, rage, which threatens to turn her into a killing machine. The events set in motion a riveting sci-fi thriller whose characters face a web of moral dilemmas with no easy answers. |
