Kil'n People - Softcover
Al Morris is a private investigator. Actually, he's lots of private investigators. For he lives in a world in which every person, every day, can be in any number of places at the same time. It's the world of dittos. It is our world. Welcome to the future.
In a business where information is the currency, Al's dittos are loaded. And with a number of cases on the go at once, it is crucial that Al keeps track of what's going on. What he doesn't know is that he is about to be drawn into a plot that could throw this delicately balanced world into chaos. It seems that the technology has been developed for dittos to replicate themselves. It seems that real people may no longer be necessary. And, suddenly, it seems that mankind's dream of immortality could turn into a nightmare.

Review:
This is not just a can't-wait-for-time-to-read-it book, but is clearly in the much higher category of don't-dare-interrupt-my-reading ... Underneath the frenetic story of our hero trying in multiple forms to save the world, are some very real questions about the nature of identity, selfhood and the soul. (NEWBOOKS.MAG)
A slick, thoughtful novel that shows not only Brin's immense story telling skills, but also the diversity of his range and imagination, confirming his place at the top of contemporary SF (ENIGMA)
The Uplift series: 'Brin writes space opera with rare panache . . . multi-layered, tightly plotted and excellently written (SFX)
Exceptionally vivid, imaginative and multi-layered ...Brin's detective story unrolls itself with the intelligence and finesse of a Bach fugue, does a fine line in wry humour, and asks some pointed questions about the nature of consciousness and reality (FOCUS)
