Publisher Description

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.

"I'm still working on piecing everything together... I didn't know whether to be freaked out or be beside myself at the possibility of romance. My completed review will be coming in the near future. Still digesting!"

Quotes

  • “It’s a neat premise and Clark examines the ramifications with the precision of a poet, eschewing the genre’s typical preoccupation with science and opting instead for a dramatisation of the love affair. Hard SF aficionados be warned: this is SF for admirers of The Time Traveller’s Wife.”

    — Guardian

  • “A haunting, memorable, and very original love story, told in an alluringly graceful prose.”

    — Peter LaSalle, author of Tell Borges If You See Him: Tales of Contemporary Somnambulism

Awards

  • A 2013 Philip K. Dick Award Nominee

    " I wasn't entirely happy with this book while I was reading it, but I'll admit that it's been 3 days since I finished and I'm still thinking about it. The story sticks with you and I was left wondering what the character's lives were like after the last page. "
