+1 DixieGal. I just finished the book last night. I got the freebie from Smashwords. I usually don't expect much from free books (and that's often exactly what I get ), but "Adam" is very well written. It manages a balance of melancholy and humor; it raises some interesting technical, legal and sociological questions about a technology that probably is in our future; it has some characters that you really come to care about; and overall, I thought it was a really good story. The book deserves to be more widely known!

But to answer your question: I think I would tell my clown clone not to wait so long to start a family and to have lots of kids. Being a dad is a wonderful experience!
