Book summary

In the future, most of earth's human population has rid themselves of their troublesome corporeal bodies. Instead, they live as minds within giant computers. The few humans who choose to remain outside the computers are referred to as "fleshers." This novel follows the development of an "orphan"--a mind born without a human precursor--named Yatima, and the quest to save the fleshers from a cosmological tragedy .
