Don't bite the sun.
Growing up, I read Tanith Lee's "Drinking Sapphire
Wine" over and over again, until I heard its technolovechild slang in my
sleep.
This is the cover of the paperback I have.
The books are told from the hero/heroine's perspective - she is predominantly female, but life in this world is predominantly boring, and "teenagers" ( the younger generation, known collectively as "Jang") can change their gender and their bodies as easily as shopping for shoes.
This review from 1977 can tell you more.
Don't bite the sun. Don't struggle against your fate, your elders, your robot caretakers, your well-planned, deliberately meaningless life.
