Summary
The idea was simple enough for the alien race who took Aneka Jansen from Earth in 2011. Take a human, make her into a perfect tool to observe humanity from the inside, and so determine how best to advance this young race into their future. Unfortunately for them and her, their plans went awry, and Aneka became the only survivor on a dead ship marooned in deep space.
Only by chance is the derelict discovered, and Aneka is revived to discover that the world she knew is long gone, and she has to learn to live on a New Earth, in a body that is not her own. Aneka died a thousand years ago, and all that is left of her is a computer simulation of her mind running on a quantum computer inside a body of steel, plastic, and synthetic skin.
Is she really still the woman she thinks she is?
(Contains adult scenes. Not suitable for younger listeners.)

Difficult to put down.
An absorbing story with characters I cared about. I'm looking forward to the next story about the life of our 21st century protagonist 1000 years in the future.

Great story but...,
I have read all of the Aneka Hansen books and thoroughly enjoyed them all. I so looked forward to the audible version but was really disappointed with the narration- bad English accent for starters and really bad reading in general.

Enjoyable story, with ninja sexytimes ambushes
I very much enjoyed the core story, a tale of transhumanism, alien abduction and sci-fi futurism.
For me the problems arose from being ambushed by seemingly random but repeated out of the blue sex scenes getting in the way of the story. Nothing wrong with sex scenes in moderation, but this felt like a softcore fanfic written by someone with a PVC/Vinyl kink 50% interested in story progression, 50% in getting to the next sex scene. Also, very badly handled scenes involving systemic rape culture culture baddies, and the aftermath thereof. Even in the supposedly "free sexual utopia" future depicted, it felt written in crayon.
I otherwise enjoyed the central tale, and would like to see where it goes next.
