What’s more frightening: Not knowing who you are? Or finding out? A Bram Stoker Award–winning author explores the answer in a chilling story about identity and human consciousness.
Imagine you’ve woken up in an unfamiliar room with no memory of who you are, how you got there, or where you were before. All you have is the disconnected voice of an attentive caretaker. Dr. Kuhn is there to help you—physically, emotionally, and psychologically. She’ll help you remember everything. She’ll make sure you reclaim your lost identity. Now answer one question: Are you sure you want to?

After I finished this. I realized that there is a major plot hole that cannot be ignored, and that the denouement feels, independent of that realization, like a bit of a cheat gotcha. I expected far better from the author of A Head Full of Ghosts, a book which actually haunted me.
It would have been a 3 stars for me if it hadn't been for the brief moment where the author managed to make me think the answer might not be "clones" it's not a bad story just very predictable
