Intriguing, including the hints about the societal structures at play here.

Thanks. I'm trying to hint at a freer, more inclusive society without making the story explicitly about that. It's really about soul-searching androids, swashbuckling sopranos, actresses turned spies, and the secrets they keep from each other—and they just happen to live in a society where the tyrannies of church, state, capital, and society lack much of the power they wield in the real world. It's not a utopia, though; there's a soft black underbelly and there's still plenty of tyranny and corruption if one knows where to look.
