Now it's up to Lee to stop the renegade shapeshifter who is plotting to control the information technology in a postindustrial world, where illusion wear the face of reality, and the prize is power absolute...

Read this book because it was Westerfeld, but really didn't like it compared to his other works. There wasn't enough background information for me. I wanted to know more of the main character's life story (though I understand how he may be making a point of not giving her a backstory to emphasize her lack of identity and her feelings that identity aren't important).
I also wanted to understand better the setting; it seemed like it was a futuristic NYC, but what happened to get to that point and when in time is the story happening? These were questions that I think could have been answered in relatively little time/space that would have clarified more of what was going on for my personal edification.
This one just wasn't for me.
