It takes place in a desert city (Mojave, I think) - there is nanotech, a fair amount of dystopia, genetic modification, and I think someone sprouts wings in the end...kind of cyberpunk-ish.

This is very, very generic. You are almost asking "There were spaceships, I think". Please attempt to come up with more details, they need not be from the story itself... time period written (or read), length, style (young adult, etc). – John O Feb 19 at 20:07

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

If you take out the "someone sprouts wings in the end", I would say you are describing Prey by Michael Crichton. Published in 2002, it is described thusly in wikipedia:

The novel serves as a cautionary tale about developments in science and technology; in this case, nanotechnology, genetic engineering, and artificial intelligence.
