Spare Parts

In a future Melbourne, the city has grown into a cluster of towers that climb toward the sky. The people at the top, who enjoy the newest comforts of the late twenty-first century, live above the clouds, while those in the lower ranks must make do with smog and shadow at street level. Kelty is one of the lower-ranked workers, employed at a recycling plant. When her closest friend is badly hurt in an accident there, her future looks bleak. She can stay where she is, or she can take the drastic step of leaving everything she knows behind to join the Space Corps. The price of that choice is steep: before she can go, she must exchange her human body for an advanced cyborg one.
