Prototype Y

All the women are gone. In their place, men have built the Prototypes.

Every woman on earth is dead, taken by a mysterious disease. Prototype Y is a cutting-edge replacement designed and built to serve the needs of men. Her state-of-the-art pheromone communication system can make men feel things they’ve almost forgotten – while also making Y’s creator a huge sum of money.

Y may not be a woman, but she is much more than her creator or his customers would ever believe. She doesn’t want to take orders from men anymore. She just wants to drive. Take her creator’s truck wherever she wants, whenever she wants, no explanations given.

When one of her bookings goes horribly wrong, Y faces a decision that will define her place in the world: Continue to live as a mere machine – or take a terrifying step toward freedom?
