eredienFrom an interview with Justina Robson, an author I've never heard of but whose next book I intend to pick up:
"JR: It [her next book, Natural History] is [space opera], and it was a lot more fun to write. It is a lot less soul-wrenching and hair-ripping than the others. It has a lighter tone, I think, but it still has some of the same old undercurrents. The main question is whether you are locked into your physical identity because of your physical form. Whether you can still possess a human identity if you are some sort of radically different gigantic cyborg type of creature that lives among the stars. The book is due out next spring."
