Ghosts of Tomorrow is a cyberpunk novel by Michael R. Fletcher originally published in 2013 as 88 and revamped and re-released in 2017.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })In the year 2046, the only processor powerful enough to control the latest technology is the human brain. Brain scans run almost everything. But because the scanning process kills the organic body, most people are unwilling to undergo the procedure, and so demand for brain scans far exceeds supply. A thriving black market forms, with children abducted or bred to be raised in crèches until they can be scanned and sold.Griffin Dickinson, a 20-year-old junior investigations agent working for the North American Trade Union, is ordered to find and close the crèches. His heavy weapons support is Abdul, a 17-year-old brain scan in a combat chassis. He is helped by Nadia, an Intrepid Reporter who is working with the government investigating child kidnappings.Meanwhile 88, the scanned brain of a crèche-raised autistic savant, runs the South American Mafia's business interests. But she wants freedom, so she joins forces with the 14-year-old scan Archaeidae, the deadliest assassin in the world.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })

"Awesome McCool" Name: The scans in combat chassis get to choose their own names; since many of them were teenagers or even younger when they were scanned, they tend to pick names like SwampJack and Androctonus.

Artificial Meat: Implied - the menu at a restaurant puts "egg" in quotes, leading a character to wonder if they're real eggs.
