KEISHA ANGELA LeCHANCE. All right then. African-American, twenty-six years old, five feet seven inches and 149 pounds, and born in Detroit, Michigan. Maybe she should visit Michigan, to experience it for herself, but what’s the point? She can recall a difficult childhood there in vivid detail – her childhood now, thanks to modifications to her memory – the enormous houses in Indian Village that made her hate how poor she and her family were.
