When holo lawyer Rand Hoté meets Tegan Kolechko, she hires him to investigate her death.
Tegan’s been resurrected as a hologram, but has no memory of the last two weeks of her life – and by 2064, being an immortal light-being is not what it used to be. Other afterlives are available, the company that generates the holos is acting suspiciously… and the holos of Light City are protesting every night.
With his repurposed sex-doll assistant and his toy-dinosaur accountant, Rand protects the holos’ rights in the courts of Light City. But when the team takes Tegan’s case on, they uncover the strands of a dark conspiracy – one that means the holos may not get to live happily ever after, after all…
Dead Formats is a twisty near-future mystery set in a gritty cyberpunk world, with snappy dialogue and inventive characters – for fans of sci-fi, detective stories and Black Mirror-style dystopias
