Read "The Jigsaw Man". It's in _Tales of Known Space_.
Heck, if you find it, read _The Patchwork Girl_. I have it as its own book, and it's also in _Flatlander_. (_Flatlander_ is fairly easily available, actually.)
Now, if you don't the inclination to hunt these down, I'm sure someone will be happy to do some summarizing for you.
I probably have a text version of one of those on my hard drive (I've been cataloging my e-books. Up to about 1000 out of 3500 titles now). Let me know if you'd like it as a txt file -- I'll track it down and send.
