ok let me get it straight, the guy is going to get money in order to clone the girl whose brain is dead, after she regenerated from having her neck cut open in order to not become a shackle to the guy, and the guy cremated her body, so what is the point?, unless i miss some serious plot device that will allow the clone to keep the memories and personality of the dead girl, what he will get is just someone who looks the same but is someone totally different.
its not definite that he will be able to clone the girl.. the novel reminds me mad max series but with high-tech.
