Nominated for the Phillip K. Dick Award, a science fiction fairy
tale set in a collapsing future America about a girl and the
android she falls in love with. When Cat Novak was a young girl,
her father brought Finn, an experimental android, to their isolated
home. A billion-dollar construct, Finn looks and acts human, but he
has no desire to be one. He was programmed to assist his owners,
and performs his duties to perfection. His primary task now is to
tutor Cat. Finn stays with her, becoming her constant companion and
friend as she grows into adulthood. But when the government grants
rights to the ever-increasing robot population, Finn struggles to
find his place in the world. As their relationship goes further
than anyone intended, they have to face the threat of being
separated forever.
"Kate Standish has been on the forest-world of Huginn less than a
week and she's already pretty sure her new company murdered her
boss. But the little town of mill workers and farmers is more
worried about eco-terrorism and a series of attacks by the bizarre,
sentient dogs of this planet, than a death most people would like
to believe is an accident. That is, until Kate's investigation
uncovers a conspiracy which threatens them all. File Under: Science
Fiction [ Colony World | Into the Woods | Leader of the Pack |
Woman's Best Friend ]"
