A classic society adapting to technology story. In a world where (wealthy) people are beginning to be resurrected after their death in artificial bodies - and, potential, resurrected again and again when these wear out - young Sonata makes the decision to limit her reincarnations to no more than two, making herself a "limited edition" in order to make her existence more meaningful.



This novella does a good job of positing how society views this technology, but also the effects it has on the individuals when they find themselves as superhumans who can choose to dispassionately view their emotions and, of course, to ask if it is indeed "that it will never come again is what makes life so sweet."
