Smart Girl
About this eBook
The near future…
Yuki – unaffectionally called “Scrappy” by her owner, tech giant Hirochi Tonazzi – is a Smart Girl: an android servant used for everything from security to carnal pleasure. When she begins to malfunction, Hirochi replaces her and orders Yuki to be destroyed. But something in Yuki awakens and, taking a stand against her abusive master, she becomes self-aware…
Believed to be defective and hostile, she is hunted by her creators through a city rife with anti-android sentiment. But Yuki plans to fight back for the only thing that truly matters – her freedom to live.
