Description
Changes is part of fantasy/ghost story author Neil Gaiman's short
story compilation "smoke and Mirrors". It is the story of a
scientist who creates an anti-cancer drug, available in pill form
and completely harmless (unlike conventional chemotherapy) it has
one side effect. The so called 'Reboot' drug causes the patient to
biologically change gender.
As such the story charts the use of Reboot through society, first
as an anti-cancer drug and then as a recreational drug for people
to explore gender. The story takes the form of short chapters
spanning a 30 year period and includes several transformations
including jo/e a guy by day who becomes a girl for a night out
A cure for cancer that reboots the genetic code has a unique side
effect; it changes the person's gender. The story goes on to cover
the drug's impact on society (including Black Market versions).
