Imagine a post-apocolypse setting, with the coolest kind of tech there is (bioware), and a cute, friendly, but potentially terrifying product of that technology as one of the main characters.  A fantastic story about person-hood, self-discovery, and incredibly written!  I am calling all hotels "balcony cliffs" now because of this lol
