Blade Runner 2 by K.W. Jeter

The Edge of Human

Years after leaving the job, a former blade runner is drawn back into a rain-soaked, neon-lit world to investigate a string of violent incidents tied to a clandestine program producing a new generation of replicants. Chasing leads through corporate intrigue, criminal underworlds, and a fervent movement that reveres artificial life, he faces altered memories, ambiguous allies, and intimate encounters that blur the line between human and machine. The case forces him to confront ethical and emotional questions about identity, empathy, and whether manufactured beings can claim true personhood.
