Identity Matrix

Summary: Best trans-gender book
Review: Gender bending, body switching, and other nifty things... This book's writting is not the best, but the plot is excellent. I read it the first time in 6th grade, and I identified with it completely. A must read for every boy tho never fit in and always dreamed of being a girl.

Summary: This Is a good Book
Review: I think this is a good book but not for younger readers. It has some inapproprate parts to it. Otherwise it is a great book.

Review: If some alien should need your body in which to transport its jellyfish self, don't fight it. Chalker describes these body snatching aliens and also invents another black-budget FBI type organization, the IMC, to combat the aliens. Hoorah! The IMC develops computized techniques for placing one's identity on a matrix-cube for future use. Furthermore, the matrix-cube might be modified to control how a person thinks.

If you can follow and remember the body switching that goes on in this story you are a Chalker fan. The author was obviously just having fun when he switched the identity matrix of his adult lesbian character into the body of a 13 year old Indian gal. Is that child abuse? Obviously carried away by this body-identity switching, Chalker downloads the matrix of a middle age geek professor first into the the body of a young, chic blonde, and then finally replaces the professor's matrix with that of a computer constructed nymphomaniac prostitute/stripper. If only real characters were so easy to construct. I think the story will be easier to follow (swallow) if you read the 8 page report at the end titled Operation Triple Play.

But the process or identity matrix construction, downloading and switching ID's was original to this reader. In answer to the ancient perplexing question of: where is the soul? Chalker gives an easy answer--in the ID matrix-cube.
