Avonna just tried to commit suicide. But Avonna's not real—she's a low-AI, created as the android face of a shampoo brand. The video of her suicide attempt has gone viral, creating a massive headache for Lewis, the corporate salesman and fixer assigned to deal with the situation.
This isn't the first time Lewis has dealt with the mess left by a Corporate Person. The last one thought she was in love. With him. But something about this situation feels different. With time running out and the higher-ups at his company watching his every move, Lewis must decide whether or not to have Avonna "decomped." An untenable choice that starts to look an awful lot like life or death ...
From the story
I’d seen the video that morning as I spooned soggy cereal into my mouth. Shot on Avonna’s cell, she struts into a spacious bedroom wearing a pink bra and panties, hair damp from the shower. She stands in front of the mirror and powers on the blow dryer. Her eyes widen and she leans towards the mirror. A slight tremor runs through her. She blinks and her face resets to its usual confidence. She draws a comb through the satin sheen of her brown hair—back on script for the fourth installment of the Hair Diary campaign Lotus created for Avonna beauty products. Her movements are herky-jerky, almost spastic. Another tremor runs through her. She stares into the mirror, confused.
Shot in super-definition, the bedroom lighting carefully designed to show off her curves (and of course her glistening hair), Avonna sets the dryer to maximum and places it directly against her abdomen. Her synthetic skin begins to melt, revealing the ductworks beneath. She tilts her head, smiling, her hair falling to the side. Oily smoke rises from the blackened place below her rib cage.
“So smooth,” she says.

Avonna A Science Fiction Noir eBook Nathan Beauchamp NJ Tanger Reviews
It's always great (and depressingly rare) to read science fiction that lives up to the genres mission of grappling with new ideas and their implications. It's also really funny. Well worth your spare change.
This story sucked me in. It just kept going and going, dragging me along. It evokes strong emotional response - I felt for the characters strongly. Highly recommended.
Highly recommend
SImply put, one of the very best neo-noir spec fiction short stories I've ever read. BE SURE to pick this one up and give it a read, Nathan Beauchamp is sure to be a household name in the coming years. Nothing else I can say!
A fantastic blend of two diverse genres that not only entertains (which it does in droves), but shows incredible insight and a somewhat disturbing look into one possible future.
Decades ago Mr. Asimov bequeathed is the three laws of robotics. You can hear some echoes of that theory in this story, but there's nothing unoriginal about this terrific story. Expertly crafted and well worth reading. In many ways, it feels more like a pulp-era science fiction story than anything else.
