   Dunno why I remembered "The Quantum Thief" by Hannu Rajaniemi. Basically, you had fine-grained control over what others perceived of you. Your friends can see you completely, while strangers can only see a blur.

   It was an amazing book.

      I know Hannu, and he tells an interesting story about getting his first book published. I should write it up sometime ... in my Copious Free Time ...

      This comment box is too small to contain the story.

      * The Quantum Thief

      * The Fractal Prince

      * The Causal Angel

      Actually, most of the story is on his WikiPedia page:

         The 1st 2 were great but I didnt like the 3rd one. Its like the author was in a hurry to finish the book and just started killing characters to make his wordcount.

         The 1st 2 are independent, I recommened people stop after 2nd book
