How about something like: In attempting to undermine the 27th Century institutions that have made human bodies a commodity, a disillusioned neurosurgeon and a melancholic robotics engineer uncover a sinister history that shakes their beliefs of "the self" to the core.
That's good @Simpson17866, thanks! I think that I might still need to tweak it a bit to make "the human bodies a commodity" thing that I wrote a little clearer. I'm kind of surprised that it still sounded interesting to @ajaye when that maybe didn't make much sense
Well, I'd guessed it might mean either that humans were stripped of their bodies for AI's to inhabit, or human beings were sold for whatever purposes. Either way I was interested .
