It is here that Scratch has found hirself, bored out of hir mind but unable to sleep. Ze has signed on as Scratch, without a gender, waiting to see if someone else will fill in that blank for hir. As ze fends off the third of a series of polyester advances, ze realizes wryly that ze must be giving off the scent of someone female, and ze muses on the invisible cues cyberspace somehow allows. Pissed off but curious, ze decides to give them what they want, but takes time crafting hir profile. Ze can see out hir window: riotgrrls with backward baseball caps, combat boots, and skirts. They’re scary, angry, frenetic, and beautiful. Funny how even in this androgynous new generation, there is still a gender uniform for girls and boys.
“Okay,” ze says. “You want a girl, I’ll be a girl.”

A novel written in cyberspace, Nearly Roadkill is an Infobahn erotic thriller without any boundaries - virtual, sexual, legal, or otherwise. What-appears-to-be Boy meets what-appears-to-be Girl. But their world is the Net, where any persona - and any gender - can be created. They pose as a host of different personalities, switching identities and genders as quickly as they create passwords.
Named Scratch and Winc, these two genderless beings cybersurf into the various worlds on the Net as they fight government intervention on this final frontier.
