The Resurrected Man
by Sean Williams

Description:
The Resurrected Man takes a close look at one of sci-fi's most recognizable gizmos--the matter transporter--and portrays the world that might result should such a device become comercially available. Set in a near-future in which the lines between human and machine are increasingly blurred, the new technology prompts renewed questioning of what it means to be alive, as well as allowing criminals new opportunities to prosper. Terrorism, serial murders, the future of law enforcement, globe-spanning conspiracies-- all feature in a complex plot revolving around two criminal investigators, ex-partners and ex-lovers who are thrown together in an attempt to find the deadly Twinmaker.

If an identical copy of a person is made, are both legally alive? If one of those people is subsequently killing, leaving the other alive and well, has a murder been committed? These are the kinds of existential questions The Resurrected Man raises.
