- I just finished _Jitterbug_. Perhaps you haven't read enough
- science-fiction. I thought the content was well suited to be
- categorized as such, and I've read other books with a similar
- "feel" labeled "science-fiction".
-
- Immortality, dematerialization, "new-age"y theories about
- fragrance, DNA, after-death experiences, etc. Standard SF fare.
