(4) YA Zimri, a naturally gifted "Plebe," and Orpheus, a privileged "Plute," exist on opposite sides of the tracks in a technology-obsessed world in which anyone can be a surgically created musical genius--with enough money. Swain presents a dystopian-future music industry, wherein economic privilege dictates accessibility. The dual narrative develops the characters well enough but leaves the story's conflicts feeling rather weightless.
