Quando l'IA Lovelace si risveglia in un corpo artificiale - un kit persona che rinomina Sidra - il viaggio che la condurrà a Porto Coriol con gli amici Pepper e Blue diventa un'esplorazione del mondo che la circonda e di una nuova esistenza diametralmente opposta alla sua vita sulla Wayfarer. Alla ricerca di uno scopo che vada oltre ciò per cui è stata programmata, confusa dai limiti che paradossalmente la sua libertà le impone, tenterà di comprendere il proprio ruolo nell'universo e scoprirà quanto è difficile, ma anche entusiasmante, condividerlo con specie e razze diverse.

Science Fiction mit Tiefgang – ein Hörbuch aus dem beliebten Wayfarer-Universum. Auf der Asteria, einem Siedlerschiff der exodanischen Flotte, ist für jeden gesorgt: Alle haben eine Wohnung, alle haben zu essen, alle haben einen Job – und leisten noch im Tod einen wertvollen Beitrag zur Gemeinschaft.

Früher hatte Lovelace ihre Augen und Ohren überall. Als KI-System der Wayfarer bekam sie alles mit, was auf ihrem Raumschiff passierte, und sie sorgte für das Wohlbefinden der Crew, für die Lovelace immer mehr eine Freundin war als nur ein System. Dann kam der totale Systemausfall. Ihre Crew sah nur eine Möglichkeit, Lovelace zu retten: ein Reboot all ihrer Systeme. Als sie aufwacht, ist sie in einem Bodykit gefangen, eingeschränkt auf modifizierte menschliche Körperfunktionen – in einer Gesellschaft, in der eine solche Umwandlung verboten ist.
