This turned into a very engrossing story, with many philosophical questions being raised about what constitues "human", issues of ethics and independence regarding AI's, and the struggle between acting on duty versus acting on one's conscience. And there's a very bizarre love story, too.

I have to admit that much of the science/physics was over my head, but I appreciated the gist of it, nonetheless. Reminded me of a hard-boiled, noir version of Tepper's After Long Silence, and also more generally of Altered Carbon by Richard K. Morgan.
