About this title

Synopsis

• The year is 2054, and life is reduced to a data feed. The fusing of virtual reality and cybernetics has ushered in the era of the personal surrogate, android substitutes that let users interact with the world without ever leaving their homes. It's a perfect world, and it's up to Detectives Harvey Greer and Pete Ford of the Metro Police Department to keep it that way. But to do so they'll need to stop a techno-terrorist bent on returning society to a time when people lived their lives instead of merely experiencing them.
• Designed to complement the upcoming, feature-length movie, The Surrogates, starring Bruce Willis and slated for release September 25th, 2009 from Touchstone Pictures, this special hardcover edition features both the original and prequel graphic novels of The Surrogates.
