Howdy, 'Tropes,

I seem to remember a moment in Linda Nagata's novel _Tech Heaven_ in which
we are told that the protagonist Katie Kishida has refused to undergo any
kind of cosmetic surgery for fear that it would interfere with
rejuvination protocols in some unspecified way. Any ideas out there about
what she might have in mind?

Best, Dale
