The Bohr Maker by Linda Nagata

3.0

Heavily influenced by Altered Carbon: people can be reduced to digital versions of themselves (and move between bodies), extending the lifetimes of the fortunate while the poor live in squalor. Nagata adds a new twist with a Maker that can create new Makers (loosely, an AI that can alter human DNA and also create other new AIs like it). Parts of it felt like hard sci-fi, but yet there were also gaps in the technology and plot that felt like magic, so the novel felt inconsistent to me.
