This was an extremely well written novel about a dystopian future with a world government and an experimental mind-altering technique. It poses the question of how isolation from human contact for a number of years affects an otherwise normal, productive person. It was nominated for several awards, including the Nebula and the Gaylactic Spectrum Awards. It features a Latina main character, which is pretty rare in science fiction, who is also a lesbian. Reading it was quite enjoyable, even though parts were quite grim. While not a thriller, it kept me on the edge of my seat for most of the book.
