Daniel sneaks into the Bubble and starts collecting pieces of himself. Daniel must hunt and kill those using his parts. Ugly twist; the detective , Kage, a male, (formerly Kass, a female), has a part of Daniel's brain. This should be good as they hunt each other.

Defragmenting Daniel The Organ Scrubber The Defragmenting Daniel Trilogy Book 1 eBook Jason Werbeloff Reviews
I'm always excited to discover new authors, especially as i read so fast I'm constantly on the prowl for another book. I stumbled onto this one totally by chance, and was very happy as I read along. The writing was vivid & coherent and the idea well executed. Though I am a biologist & very long-term fan of hard SF, I was okay with the fact that some of the more extreme elements of Webeloff's world didn't have explanations and stood on rather shaky scientific underpinnings; this is more of a sociological SF than a hard biological SF (if you physics types will permit me to phrase it that way). The drastically futuristic tech (biological & computer-related) pretty much saturates the book, so if you're not able to suspend disbelief on a society based on tech that borders on magic, beware. The tech ranges from organs switched as easily as our socks to programmable clothing that changes at the wearer's whim (both in appearance and at the tactile level) to VR-type glasses that operate everything to flying/hovering taxis that are invisible unless you have the glasses, up to the entire Bubble, which operates on a certain 'phase' & virtually ceases to exist if you put yourself in a different 'phase.'
There are very disturbing elements to the book; if you're a reader who has trouble with blood or violence, or casual cruelty, you might want to give this one a pass. This world is a pitiless and vicious place. I wish I could say I couldn't believe that people would be so depraved that they'd pay to hack up children for fun 'n' recreation if it were legal, but I've read too much history and seen too much reality to doubt it. Once one group of people views some other group as a subhuman "Them," there's no limit to the atrocities they can --and will-- commit upon Them. And feel just fine & perfectly justified about doing it. I actually had more difficulty believing that Gepetto would so quickly & casually take in a total stranger off the street in this scary world.
Daniel is at first a very sympathetic character; orphaned, dumped out into a nearly totally unknown world on his 18th birthday, filled with crappy generic replacements for the body parts that've been taken from him to 'pay' for his room & board & the privilege work 12 hours a day, 7 days a week cleaning out organs yanked from other Gutter inhabitants. As he begins indulging in some cruelty of his own to regain his body parts, it is a little harder to love him, but given the world he inhabits, his behavior is not particularly surprising.
I loved Daniel's cat, Odin, and the fact that Daniel sacrifices what little he has to share with Odin, and i don't care if Odin only exists to provide more warm & fuzzy feelings for Daniel. Odin actually reminded me a lot of a real-life cat, Norman, the Scottish Fold who traveled the world with his human. Having Odin was a very nice touch.
I had some problems getting warmed up to Kage, the former Kassandra, but only because I couldn't figure out who he was trying to impress (other than himself, and he clearly had some self-image issues). He says (well, he thinks) that he dislikes women, he gets really angry when people think he's a gay man, but he really loves the way it feels when a man puts his hand on Kage's back, and is thrilled when an impulsive dinner invite to a woman is accepted. I assume this contradictory behavior was supposed to be indicative of how conflicted Kage is, but I wished there was some better clarity; what does Kage really want, besides bigger muscles & a more manly voice? Ambivalence toward this character is sort of a problem since he's the protagonist's foil, or possibly nemesis.
My biggest negative about the book is the ending...there isn't one. It just stops. I actually double-checked my because I thought there was a download issue & I hadn't gotten the full book. (This actually happened to me once, with The Stone Man by Luke Smitherd; the first time I downloaded it, I only got about 3/4 of the book. It was a great book, once it was all there. I thought it'd happened again --another 3/4 of a good/great book. I was rather cheesed off when I realized that this time, this was the whole book. Sort of...it's the first of a trilogy. I don't mind so much when there's a cliffhanger to prod one into getting the next book, but really feel there should be SOMEthing tied up, some partial resolution, some degree to which "Book 1" can stand on its own. Not this time. I had the feeling (before I knew there were 3 books, not 2) that Werbeloff wrote a full book & just whacked it in half. Wrong... he whacked it in thirds. This makes me feel cheated --not so much on the money, since I only paid .99 for the first book & the next is 2.99, which isn't too far outside even my budget. But it makes me feel the author has set me up, which is irksome. I've been teetering on the brink of 3 stars for this reason, but am going to stick with 4 because I did like the book; I just wish there'd been more of it, especially at the end. I wouldn't have been annoyed if I hadn't been cruising happily along.
Set your phase somewhere around 6000. Maybe 6500.
So, you're an organ thief.
Well, it isn't REALLY stealing.
They were yours to begin with.so they stole them first.
How many wrongs does it take to make a right? Is it okay to root for the good guy and bad guy?
What if they're both?
I read the first book and immediately bought 2 and 3 together, and I bet you will too.
Ah, the visual smorgasbord among the phases.
Hmm, the way the words are shaped.
Oooh the hedonistic possibilities.
Just keep those Margarets away from me.
I didn't want to return to my default phase.
GREAT SERIES!!
A Gruesome Sci-Fi Thriller? You Bet!!! Daniel's "Defragmenting" is having his body parts taken from him and sold to the wealthy, unscrupulous Bubble Dwellers. Daniel's among the poor Gutter Dwellers (not the best side to be on) Daniel desperately needs the money and sells his body parts. He later goes looking for his body parts back and who doesn't want those back?
Detective Kass, who is a transsexual (used to be a female), has some of Daniel's brain. He's looking for Daniel and Daniel is looking for part of his brain back. Yes, it does get a bit hairy at times. Daniel is working at a breakneck speed.
This is a gruesome book, let there be no mistake about that. It's a different kind of Sci-Fi/Horror story and it's not for everyone or for the squeamish. It's not intended to be. In this genre, it rules.
There are the Bubblers and the Gutters. The Bubblers are the people with all the opportunities and best lifestyle and the Gutters do all the hard work, but with virtually no opportunities.
Daniel is an "Organ Cleaner" or "Scrubber" in the beginning of the book. They have to be cleaned for transplanting. Once in a while, he has to give one of his own organs to pay the mounting debt to the orphanage. They replace his organs with cheap knockoffs that don't function very well, but it's all he has. You don't get along very well with the replacements. Hence, he wants his back.
When he turns 18, he finds out about his parentage and goes looking for his missing organs and tracking down the people that have them inside them.
They start getting suspicious, when people begin popping up dead. That's just the beginning. I recommend this book, but only for a select group of Sci-Fi/Horror readers. For some, it might be a little too grotesque.
I read the entire series - in like two weeks. It was phenomenal! I had never read sci-fi thriller /horror before but I loved it. I liked how the author covered a lot of different aspects. He talked about the ethics of man, the lengths we go to for our stimulation like the killing bars, and there was a sweet little love story. Jason's characters are so well developed that I got to know them. What a fantastic series that was. I read that it was his first long story and I think he did a stellar job. I look forward to reading the Obsidian Worlds and anything else Werbeloff writes. Go for another long story or series!
I love sci-fi, never got into detective stories. Jason just keep opening new doors for me. Daniel's body parts are taken from him and sold to the rich Bubble dwellers. As a Gutter dweller, Daniel's body parts are fees for rent, food and other necessities in his slum life. Daniel wants his parts back, he wants to be whole again.

Ugly twist; the detective , Kage, a male, (formerly Kass, a female), has a part of Daniel's brain. This should be good as they hunt each other.
