Summary
"In a society where the modification industry has transformed how humans look, sound, and interact, a nonbinary teen braves the "reinvention" room to accept a gift from the dead. In an accidental city in space, a young apprentice holds neighborhoods together with braided carbon filaments, until distraction and inspiration arrive in the wake of a visitor. Entitlement-fueled drug use alters the landscape of white privilege, a robot remembers the earth, and corporate "walkers" stroll for unknown subscribers--until one hacks the system."--Book jacket flap.
