Clones Arlo and Dianne make a living as walking advertisements for trendy fashion companies owned by the same megacorporation that owns them. But then, seemingly simultaneously, the company goes under and Arlo's called in for reaping, which means that the corporate executive from whom he was cloned has need of one of Arlo's organs. But when Arlo isn't immediately killed for his "spare parts," he learns that he's been given the man's eyes instead as part of an elaborate plot to steal enough money for Arlo, Dianne, and a cohort of other clones to buy their freedom. However, not all is as it seems.
I love science fiction and I love heists, and this is a wonderful mix of both. I loved the worldbuilding of the dystopian, crumbling world of future Earth, and it's obvious that the crimes were well-planned by Robson. If anything, the end is a bit too convenient and neat, but really, that's getting pretty darn nitpicky. Loved it, much as I have with other books Robson's written.
