The Human Rental

In 2041, people can rent other people's social lives through a company called LIFELINE. Reputation, professional standing, and social access have become commodities, bought and sold like anything else.

Adrian Vale, an identity consultant, sees the system as just another business. Until he finds a contract showing that his own identity was rented out three years ago, even though he never lost his life.

Stranger still, the contract is still active.

When Selene Arden comes to rent his identity, Adrian begins to uncover the secrets behind Unclaimed Lives, an illegal identity network that keeps the lives of people who have vanished.

But the closer Adrian gets to the truth, the more he doubts one thing: is the life he's been living truly his own?
