Nominated for the 2000 James Tiptree Jr. Memorial Award

In as gray, industro-technical future of protective shackles and slowed ideas, Jayne wants to be respectable and conform.  But conformity means accepting a limited destiny and the hollow entertainments that are brutally enforced as "news".  And to be respectable, she must gain back her virginity and give up an eye.  Jayne's life is out of control-her reality has teeth and educational drugs and binding tools- and the only cures for her growing dissatisfaction  with a bleak, repressive status quo seem to be madness or legal suicide. Or rebellion.  Jayne cannot, will not, be rehabilitated. So instead, she will live her life between lines, illegally encouraging the otherness of the lowly, the renegades, the crazies, the virtual whores, as she dedicates herself to the dangerous cause of outlaw education. There are many pitfalls built into the road Jayne has chosen to walk: failure, betrayal, terror, arrest, cyberia. But her courage and determination could be the catalyst for a new future.
