Living Next Door To the God Of Love - Justina Robson
Unity spread.
This could be what happens when you throw perhaps an English Tom Robbins type into a multiverse machine and see what you get.
A whacky introduction with superpeople and more, mini universes, gender shifting and a conflict between the not wanna be United and the Unity.
Robson's writing is just as decent as in the rest of her stuff, but this book is perhaps a little too wild and sprawling and all over the place in places going from bizarre to mundane.
