What happens when you turn eighteen and there are no more tomorrows?
It is the year 2049, and humanity is on the brink of extinction….
Tania Deeley has always been told that she’s a rarity: a human child in a world where most children are sophisticated androids manufactured by Oxted Corporation. When a decline in global fertility ensued, it was the creation of these near-perfect human copies called teknoids that helped to prevent the utter collapse of society.
Though she has always been aware of the existence of teknoids, it is not until her first day at The Lady Maud High School for Girls that Tania realizes that her best friend, Siân, may be one. Returning home from the summer holiday, she is shocked by how much Siân has changed. Is it possible that these changes were engineered by Oxted? And if Siân could be a teknoid, how many others in Tania’s life are not real?
Driven by the need to understand what sets teknoids apart from their human counterparts, Tania begins to seek answers. But time is running out. For everyone knows that on their eighteenth “birthdays,” teknoids must be returned to Oxted—never to be heard from again
MY REVIEW
I am not normally a big fan of Science Fiction books but I always keep
an open mind when doing a book review, that being said, I really loved this
story! It was unique and interesting. Well written. There was some detail that
might not appeal to all readers but it was a very enjoyable and thought
provoking!
I would Expiration day!
Disclosure: All opinions are my own. I received Expiration Day at no cost for the purpose of this review. No other compensation was received.
