"A man is about to kill a cow. He discusses life and death and his right
to kill with the compliant animal. He begins to suspect he may be about
to commit murder. But kills anyway...It began when the animal right
movement injected domestic animals with artificial intelligences in bid
to have the status of animals realigned by the international court of
human rights. But what is an animal that can talk? Where does its
intelligence end at its machine intelligence begin? And where might its
soul reside. As we place more and more pressure on the natural world and
become more and more divorced Adam Roberts' new novel posits a world
where nature can talk back, and can question us and our beliefs. Roberts
is an award winning author at the peak of his powers and each new novel
charts an exciting new direction while maintaining a uniformly high
level of literary achievement."--Fantastic Fiction.
