Book summary

This intellectually complex space opera marks the U. S. publication debut of British author Justina Robson. In the distant future, the Gaiasol government rules over the solar system, granting full rights to the "Unevolved," or purely human people, while oppressing the "Forged," the cyborgs created by the Unevolved. This balance of power seems likely to change when Voyager Isol, a Forged explorer, discovers both the "Stuff," a mineral which grants the bearer the ability to teleport, and the Stuff's home planet, which is apparently uninhabited and therefore a potential new home for the Forged.
