Plot: In the future people have DotTech, Nanobots that, for the last few thousand years have cured all ailments, extended life in the average Human and allowed for genetic and physical changes as and when desired- even saving them when decapitated or thrown from 40 storey buildings. Ae, our storyteller, is imprisoned on the Jailstar, seemingly the only prisoner and one of the very, very few people in the Galaxy with a desire to commit murder. Told through letters to her/his only friend, Ae recounts the last few years, her escape, her murderous rampage, her troubles with Humanity as a whole and her eventual recapture.
The narrative is varied and extremely descriptive, allowing for journeys to far flung corners of the Galaxy in foamy bubbles, encountering rainy planets (named Rain), dodging giant sea worm/fish/things and generally debating the morality of singular and mass murder.
A good read, but, despite it's questions/answers, leaves the reader desiring a little more from the eventual outcome/reasoning.
