The Bohr Maker by Linda Nagata, first book of the "Nanotech Succession". Nanotechnology used to rewrite genetic code, and consciousness can bounce around between virtual and semi-virtual realities as "ghosts". I was hoping for more depth than I found, but the sci-fi was mostly just there as a fantastical setting. Read as a fantasy it was an entertaining ride, so I'm giving it a 3/5. (Apparently each book is stand alone, certainly this book finished off quite well.)
