About the book: 2004 / Realizing that the “war of the dolls” is futile and leads only to the destruction of the best and most advanced cyborgs, the head of the Antikyber project Hillary Harmon makes an unexpected decision, thereby dooming herself to a new, long and difficult struggle. Now his opponents are the military, a congressional subcommittee and public opinion. The project and the lives of its new “employees” hang by a thread. But Hillary understands all too well what is at stake and what dividends victory promises.
