Pierre's brain has a degenerative condition. Surgeons replace it piece by piece with a synthetic copy that matches the original with cell-for-cell precision. Eventually the whole organ is replaced. That's all well and good, but for many observers it raises vexing questions about his soul... including whether or not he still actually has one.

International euphoria erupts when micro-organisms are discovered on one of the inner planets. The project's management team are buzzing about the security it brings to future funding. But is it really what they think it is?
