In a perilous future, disposable duplicate bodies fulfill every citizen's legal and illicit whim. Life as a 24-hour "ditto" is cheap, as Albert Morris knows. A brash investigator with a knack for trouble, he's sent plenty of clay duplicates into deadly peril, then "inloaded" memories from copies that were shot, crushed, drowned . . . all part of a day's work.
But when Morris tackles a ring of crooks making bootleg copies of a famous actress, he trips into a secret so explosive it incites open warfare on the streets of Dittotown.
"Kiln People" is a 2003 Hugo Award Nominee for Best Novel.

Recenzii
: " Intricate plotting, unflagging inventiveness, and a judicious sprinkling of puns and in-jokes: Brin keeps the pages feverishly turning." - "Kirkus Reviews"
" Brin presents a rich, kaleidoscopic story that challenges the concepts of identity and individuality." - "Library Journal"
" Brin deftly explores the issues of identity, privacy and work . . . the book features the author's usual style, with a lighter touch and punish humor abounding amid the hard SF speculation." -"-Publishers Weekly"
" More than any writer I know, David Brin can take scary, important problems and turn them sideways, revealing wonderful opportunities. This talent shows strongly in "Kiln People," a novel which is deep and insightful and often hilarious, all at the same time." -- Vernor Vinge
