Anyone

In his sophomore novel, Charles Soule explores a future where a groundbreaking technology enables the transfer of human consciousness between bodies. The story begins with a scientist in Ann Arbor who, in pursuit of an Alzheimer’s cure, accidentally finds herself in her husband's body, setting off a transformative chain of events. Two decades later, society is irrevocably changed by legal "flash" technology, but a dangerous black market known as the darkshare exploits individuals in perilous ways. "Anyone" intricately weaves the origins of this technology with a woman's quest to confront the dark consequences it has unleashed, blending elements of identity, morality, and technological advancement.
