AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'I am a Lotto Girl. I should not be here. Why haven't they come for me?

'Fern Marlow is alone, datawiped and in hiding. Her mobie says she's Delia Greene, a reuse sorter for ReCorp. Every day she queues to work to earn enough data credits to buy enough food and water to stay alive. Every night she dreams of her former life, the life she's meant to be living: back at exclusive Halston school for girls, a prodigy whose life has been set since before her birth, when her parents won a lottery to have their daughter genetically designed by BioPerfect.

'Her rescuers said that she couldn't trust BioPerfect, that her life was a lie. But they also said they'd come for her, and they haven't.

'Fern doesn't know who to trust. To find the truth, she needs to answer the one question she can't face. Is she special?' (Publication summary)
