Solid transhumanist cyberpunk. I'm a sucker for explorations of the questions of identity that arise when you can clone and upload yourself. What I like best about this book is that the three main characters are all versions of the same person -- a pattern that is repeated in Wynne, fractally. It's really a story about how too much of a focus on one's self, too much inward-turning without the genetic (and memetic) diversity of others, can amplify and propagate patterns of dysfunction. And it's about the lengths you might have to go to, and the things you might have to sacrifice, to escape the patterns of your past.
