About This Book
Highly advanced beings keep tabs on the universe and have ways of confirming their understanding of what they learn about newly discovered forms of life. A probe arrives upon our world, its task to catalog life and understand the inner lives of species of the biosphere. Immaterial simulations of lower life forms acceptable to its peers are adequate, but to show that the probe understands humanity, it must create a human specimen acceptable to its peers.
Unfortunately, it approaches its strategy blind to one trivial misunderstanding. It has a boy and his memories of a dead mother to work with, but among humans, there are problems returning the dead to life and expecting instant and complete acceptance. Even veritable gods sometimes come close to taking on more than they can handle and become close to human themselves when they try.
