Audrey's father taught her that to stay human in the modern world, she had to build a moat around herself; a moat of books and music, philosophy and dreams. A moat that makes Audrey different from the echoes: sophisticated, emotionless machines, built to resemble humans and to work for human masters.
Daniel is an echo - but he's not like the others. He feels a connection with Audrey; a feeling Daniel knows he was never designed to have, and cannot explain. And when Audrey is placed in terrible danger, he's determined to save her.
THE ECHO BOY is a powerful story about love, loss and what makes us truly human.

Echo Boy was a complete surprise, but forget The Walking
Dead, try my Walking Nightmare. It
scared the crap out of me.
Have you seen Surrogates?
If you have, I feel sorry for you, I mean, I feel sorry for myself. You
haven't? Don't bother. Just read this, it's much better. It's not the same
thing, since the "Echo's" are not you hooked up to a machine and mind
controlling the robot body, and more Echo's are actual robots, created, made,
signed, sealed and delivered all round technically human like advanced robots,
but they are machines and nothing more.
