Normal City is set in the far future where mankind exists on other planets. The existence of ESPs is accepted- but only as a "tool" for the army.
The main character's name, "Kitty 101", was given to her by a scientist named Troll. Kitty 101 was biologically created by combining several strings of DNA with man-made DNA. She was also given an XY chromosome which turns her into a male on a regular basis.
When she was a baby, Kitty 101 was stolen by one of Troll's scientists, Jason Haven, who wanted to save her from the experiments. He named her Mars Haven and brought her up as his own daughter because she reminded him of his lost daughter.
Time passes, and Troll proceeds with his experiments on the ESPs under his disposal.
