The protagonist is basically a club kid of the future, switching
between genders and among races, "looks," and sexualities freely
throughout the book. Lots of hot sex and closely observed "tribal"
eccentricities in the long, idyllic first section.
Conflict arises when she encounters another polymorph, one who has
a disturbing agenda. Definitely male at heart, this other polymorph
steals identities of wealthy and powerful folks. Our hero/ine, with
the help of a couple of hackers (themselves gender surfers in a
virtual sense), wages war on this evil polymorph.
If you like gender-bending or the New York City underworld, this is
a fabulously detailed book. The protagonist's eyes have been honed
through years of her anthropological observation. Subtlely shifting
use of pronouns, great clothes and mannerisms, and some truly wild
polymorphous genetalia. Also good hacking kung fu, with electronic
identity issues reflecting the urban and biological chaos swirling
throughout the book.
Sure to be a classic. Read it.

existed.
