Why wouldn’t these be the things that people would try and use in the future? Contraceptives are already going in that direction slowly but surely. People using a treatment called Rejuvinex to make them look younger, contraceptive injections for everyone not just women, a process of having a child and giving birth without the process of birthing. Honestly you would think it’s easier but I struggle with even believing the few I have read, but this one is totally one I could get behind.
Many writers manage to write decent dystopia, Tanith Lee is the only one I have read who manages a good utopia. I’m not a romance reader and there is so much more at play here. If you have ever avoided this because of the romance factors of the plot, don’t let it even stop you. I loved this book, right down to the last words and finished it in 2 sittings. I’m so glad I read it again now of all times. I read this way back when in 2018 I bought it and I distinctly remember being in a bit of a reading slump back then due to job stress so had trouble remembering the full details.
Or is it something more? Has Jane glimpsed in Silver something no one else has dared to see–not even the robot or his creators? A love so perfect it must be destroyed, for no human could ever compete? So she escapes into the city’s violent, decaying slums to embrace a love bordering on madness. And she will give up everything to prove it. Jane is certain that Silver is more than just a machine built to please. Until Jane’s life is changed forever by a chance encounter with a robot minstrel with auburn hair and silver skin, whose songs ignite in her a desperate and inexplicable passion. She and her friends are the idle, pampered children of the privileged class, living in luxury on an Earth remade by natural disaster. In this unforgettably poignant novel, Lee has created a classic tale–a beautiful, tragic, erotic, and ultimately triumphant love story of the future.įor sixteen-year-old Jane, life is a mystery she despairs of ever mastering. Tanith Lee is one of the most thought-provoking and imaginative authors of our time.
Love is made of more than mere flesh and blood…. Which led me to Google this book and I’ve been in love ever since. (It should be this coming month, I’m quite emotional) While at it, I learned the guest of honour, Colleen Doran, was involved in the Kickstarter to reprint the graphic novel of this book. In the mean time, I decided I was going to attend my first Octocon (this comes up a lot), the Irish Science Fiction convention. What were you doing? I had just returned home from Canada from the trip of a lifetime and was looking to my first anniversary with my now partner. ******Trigger warnings: Mention of rape, alcohol, self harm and suicide******Ĭast your mind back to the October of 2018. Sometimes I despair of ever mastering it, getting it right.
