![]() ![]() The procedure requires routine monthly mind-uploads for the new clone, and during one such procedure she discovers her aunt apparently committed suicide and cannot be cloned due to a rare medical condition. A scientist of the highest order in her field, she was responsible for the development of a cloning facility, and decided to make a gift to each of her family members. One day, her loneliness is intruded upon by her aunt Abigail. ![]() ![]() We are introduced to the eponymous character of Constance, leading a solitary existence as a remote worker after suffering a tragic accident which killed many members of her formerly-popular band. Naturally, a resistance movement is rising up against the practice, with “anticloning” militants using increasingly extreme methods to get their point across. The science-fiction novel opens by taking us to the near future of 2038, a somewhat dystopian time where human cloning is not only possible, but commercialized as a way of achieving immortality. Matthew FitzSimmons is evidently one of the few who remained fascinated by the subject, making it central to his novel Constance. However, for one reason or another, it has slowly made its way outside the collective field of vision, despite us moving closer and closer to it with every year. Human cloning is a topic which was dear to many in the early 2000s when stories about Dolly the sheep were running in practically every newspaper on Earth. ![]() Matthew FitzSimmons Gives Purpose to a Lost Soul ![]()
