“Constance” by Matthew FitzSimmons is a gripping science fiction thriller that delves into the complexities of human cloning. Set in the near future, where advances in medicine and quantum computing have made cloning a reality, the story revolves around Constance “Con” D‘Arcy, who receives her own clone as a gift from her late aunt. ⬇️

Can I get an amen?

In short, this is a sci-fi loaded with all things abnormal, plus a twisted ending.

It wasn‘t my favorite but it definitely was interesting. I loved the particular futuristic developments in terms of transport and mode of communication. The ending got me! I had no idea a plot could have a plot within another plot, that it‘s almost a never ending wormhole. Kudos to the author for such creativity.

Book rating: 3/5

I enjoyed this, despite the fact that it wasn‘t quite what I expected. I think I anticipated a deeper dive into the ethics/philosophy around cloning- a slightly harder SF approach - but this was more of a Blake Crouch-type thriller with a clone on the run. Nothing wrong with that!

In the near future, cloning is possible yet highly controversial. Con was in a tragic accident years ago that took her life off course and she is unsure of how to move forward. But then her latest clone "refresh" has her waking up 18 mths later and her original has mysteriously died. Now she must deal with the consequences of life as a clone while trying to find out what happened.
Very interesting story! Part sci-fi, part mystery, part thriller.

I really enjoyed this syfy book of cloning! As a person who‘s overwhelmed with the amount of work everyday, I sure wish I could clone myself. So naturally I chose this book from the Amazon First Reads list.
