The stakes are even higher for Lia (Skinned; Crashed) and her fellow "mechs" (machines with downloaded human brains): BioMax, the biotech corporation that created mechs, is now trying to destroy them. While the David-and-Goliath plot is captivating in itself, the real strength of this trilogy-ender is in its exploration of humanity and relationships in an increasingly sophisticated technological world.
