YA
In this world, you write down what you want to change about yourself, go through an instant-transportation device, and see it enacted. Libby is game for Improvement, but her best friend (and our main character) Clair is more cautious; it turns out her concern is justified. The author handily juggles ethical debates, swift action, and a well-developed setting throughout each story thread.
