Biosoft. Organic programming that hijacks the victims' minds, turning them into anything from a docile plaything to an emotionless assassin. Paul Coulter is an expert in detecting Doppelgangers, and was the closest agent to tracking their source. In a world of Megacorporations and intrigue, the stakes are death or virtual immortality. Can he be persuaded to continue an investigation that almost killed him? Doppelganger, another installment in Christopher Holliday's near-future short story series, with elements reminiscent of Joan Vinge's Catspaw, explores a world where cyborgs–indistinguishable from flesh-and-blood human beings–have the potential to wreak havoc on an unsuspecting public and the elite agency trying to police radical new technology. This science fiction mystery novelette originally appeared in Leading Edge magazine.
