Parece a Eternidade de Greg Bear, a continuação do fantástico Eon . Olmy e Suli Ram Kikura criam um filho, Tapi, em City Memory, e quando ele passa nos "testes de incorporação" dele, ele é elegível para um corpo real.
Working in city memory for eight days (almost a year in accelerated time) they and their partials had combined the parental mysteries, selected large blocks of parental memory for endowment at certain growth stages, and overlaid the templates with great care to create the mentality they would call Tapi. [...] Some conceived in city memory had as many as six parents. Tapi was biparental, with a predisposition toward masculinity.
