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. In tales buzzing with possibility, hope, innovation, anger, and tenderness, <i>Tasting Light</i> offers a dazzling challenge to connect with open minds, hearts, and senses in a fast-changing world." --Book jacket
