Humanity, after the invasion of strange aliens on Earth, lives on the Moon. Biotechnology has completely changed the face of humanity, the faces and bodies of people. Advanced technologies guarantee a fairly easy and safe life - almost any wound or illness is curable; people can change both their gender and their bodies through painless surgery. Changing your body has become fashionable, just like in the 20th century, for example, changing clothes. And to be content, for example, all your life with only one body or one gender, is considered an insane perversion. Almost the entire lunar colony is controlled by a central computer, Artificial Intelligence. For each of the Lunarians, he also creates AI, virtual assistant doubles, who help in all sorts of technical and other matters. Our main character, Hildy Johnson, is the chief reporter of one of the most popular and scandalous Lunar newspapers, The Daily Nipple. And lately Hildy hasn’t been feeling well: depressed, pessimistic, very tired. And what’s most interesting is that her virtual double admitted to her that she was experiencing the same thing.

A fascinating and in many ways provocative novel by an American science fiction writer from the “Eight Worlds” series.
