John Varley
The remnants of humanity that survived relocated to the moon and other planets. But they are not alone in their struggle - someone or something, somewhere deep in space, is sending them advanced scientific data via the Ophiuchi Hotline. And by the 25th century, the technological gifts from the hotline - especially its biological and medical solutions - have created a world unlike any ever known or imagined.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"It is fast and complex, and it glitters most impressively." (Science Fiction: The 100 Best Novels)
"This is a novel rich in societies, settings, and technological wizardry. It's a tough-minded, yet a playful book." (Ian Watson)

What a romp of a story!

But not in the satirical, Douglas Adams' dolphins' thanks-for-all-the-fish kind of way, but in a "I decided to do LCD, peote, bath salts, and a bottle of moonshine" kind of way.
It's just. Odd. Hence, I'm giving it a middle-ground rating. It had really good parts, and really makes one think about certain aspects of life and futility of society, but also...really really weird. Sort of in an Asminov, Bladerunner kind of way...except...not as approachable? I dunno. Like I said, this ones hard to pin down without spoiling a lot.
Also, lots of sex scenes. But involving people who have...experimented with their own anatomies. Not mutants though. Or at least, not mutants the way we usually think of them?
All I can say is if you don't have any other books you're excited over or pressing matters to attend to, this could be an interesting experimental listening. Otherwise, save it for when the mood for something completely unexpected but NOT the Spanish Inquisition strikes you.
An odd one.

Lots of sex in the story. So not one for listening to in the car with younger kids.
Not one for the kids

the usual Varley imaginative material, though.

Varley offers a unique perspective on alien lifeforms as well as the distinct views on what constitutes intelligence. Humanity has seemingly adjusted to its 3rd class status in their own solar system, but with lingering resentment. At the same time, there are hints at a larger universe of intelligences with galactic conflict that humanity is barely able to discern. Oddly, while humanity seems to have accepted cloning (including sex change) and memory transfer easily, the taboo against DNA modification seems arbitrary.
The narration is solidly performed with excellent character distinction. Pacing is brisk.
