Synopsis
Earth, 2144. Jack is an anti-patent scientist turned drug pirate, fabricating cheap medicines for those who can't otherwise afford them. But her latest drug hack has left a trail of lethal overdoses.
Hot on her trail is an unlikely pair: Eliasz, a deadly military agent, and his indentured robotic partner, Paladin. As they race to stop Jack, they begin to form an uncommonly close bond that neither of them fully understands.
And underlying it all is one fundamental question: is freedom possible in a culture where everything, even people, can be owned?

Review
Thrilling -- Guardian Everything you'd hope for from the co-founder of io9 -- Boing Boing Brims and bubbles over with ideas, tenderness and care; my experience of reading it was of wanting to discuss every paragraph I consumed. A brilliant, fascinating debut -- NPR Holy hell. Autonomous is remarkable -- Lauren Beukes Something genuinely and thrillingly new -- William Gibson Autonomous is to biotech and AI what Neuromancer was to the Internet -- Neal Stephenson
