Seeds from Ancient Earth — Jerry J. Davis

Katharina didn't ask to be born at the very end of the world. Beautiful, blazingly intelligent, she's the product of a beta test - a human created by machines. But her life doesn't end when the world ends, it continues on via countless self-replicating starships spreading the seeds of long lost Earth across the Milky Way galaxy.Her quest for love, for meaning, and for adventure spans lightyears and millennia. It's a search for what it means to be human, and how far humanity can evolve and still be considered humankind.
