D’ah! My brain?! I switch between thinking she’s browsing people to houses to memories; it was only by looking at the tags that I actually knew what was going on! Perhaps it’s just me: perhaps others will see your vision with more clarity.

Oh, yeah, the thing I’m not spelling out is that she’s moving to a new body. In the world of this story, that’s the only economical way to travel between planets. I wonder what I can add that might make that clearer?

Kurt Vonnegut Jr. wrote a story like this in his short story collection ‘Welcome To The Monkey House.’ People found out how to remove themselves from their body and that they can live a lot longer. bodily living, instead of becoming a sale thing, like a housing market, becomes a lower form of living—people in bodies are looked down upon like the lower class. And a great war begins in which these people are forced into their bodies and killed. It’s a great read. You might like that book… it’s right up your sci-fi alley I think.
