Interesting. It poses interesting questions about privacy and self-determination, particularly when large corporations or the government are involved and provide services. Definitely a story about the struggle of traditional-way-of-life against modern-way-of-life, with some interesting Orwellian twists. AO's choices at the end, while sticking up for the herdsmen and those who want to be themselves, also have consequences for the greater global population at large, which I'm not sure I agree with.

But overall, it was a neat story about a cybernetically-enhanced woman, trying to make her own choices.
