Electric Forest is a novel by Tanith Lee published in 1979.
Electric Forest is a novel about a disabled woman for whom a scientist provides a new body in return for her participation in an espionage effort. [1]
The world called Indigo turned upside down for Magdala Cled one morning. From being that world's only genetic misfit, the outcast of an otherwise ideal society, she becomes the focus of attention for mysterious forces. Outside of the city in a new beautiful body, amidst holographic trees and super-luxurious private homes, Magdala awakes to the potentials which open up about her and to the peril of her assumed life.
Greg Costikyan reviewed Electric Forest in Ares Magazine #1. [1] Costikyan commented that "Electric Forest is more than an excellent novel - it is, in my opinion, one of the best works science fiction has so far produced, something I will reread for the rest of my life [...] The story is gripping, the writing is excellent, the plot twists are dazzling - but even more, Electric Forest turns the reader inside-out, emotionally."
