Rogue Clones

A world built on replication. A future transformed by rebellion. In a society where cloning is as ordinary as air travel and as controversial as consciousness itself, the line between "original" and "copy" is dissolving. Rogue Clones explores that unraveling through twenty gripping short stories - each a window into a life that should never have existed.but refuses to remain silent. A lab assistant learns he is scheduled for decommissioning and must choose between obedience and becoming fully alive.
A horticulture clone on Mars discovers that both plants and people evolve when left to their own devices. A memory broker stitched together from stolen experiences begins to question what makes a life "real."A ballerina clone struggles to find the spark of emotion her predecessor was famous for. A political copy breaks from his template and reshapes global policy. A diplomatic clone stands before the United Nations to fight for the rights of all constructed beings.
Across battlefields, laboratories, studios, greenhouses, government chambers, and quiet domestic tragedies, these stories examine the unexpected places where consciousness emerges - and the unstoppable consequences when it does. Rogue Clones is a deeply human, fiercely imaginative collection about autonomy, identity, and the courage it takes for any being - natural or engineered - to become more than their design.
