Abelard Lindsay is a part of the Preservanists movement. He is interested in art and culture. When his friend Vera commits suicide, everyone is stunned. She had a young body but with the crash, the Mechanists could not put her back together even with their high end prothesis. The other fraction group, the Shapers, use genetics to rebuild cells. These two groups are at war with each other, and Lindsay is caught in the middle.
The story has a steady pace, the characters are developed, and it is written in the third person point of view. This has it all with futuristic worlds, robots, and the ability to live hundreds of years. If you enjoy classic science fiction, you may like this book.
