Summary

The Consortium is All. But Recorder Can No Longer Obey.

Recorder has no family, no friends, and no name. Donated to the Consortium before birth, her sole purpose is to maintain and verify the records. A neural implant and drone ensure compliance, punishing for displays of bias.

Suddenly cut off from controlling technology, Recorder tastes what it means to be human. But if the Consortium discovers her feelings, everyone she knows will be in danger.

With no name, no resources, and only an infinitesimal possibility of escape, Recorder's time is running out.

Regency Romance meets the far future

If Jane Austen was writing in the distant future she might come up with a book like this. Recorder is rich with themes of identity, agency, and what it is to be human; the broader universe that Cathy McCrumb has created holds great potential for future stories, fans of Becky Chambers might enjoy this book.
