Clarke Award, the Philip K. Dick Award and co-winner of the James Tiptree, Jr. Award.

Abandoned androids (in the form of a young woman and her cat companion) travel to what is now Indonesia, which is embroiled in an post-apocalyptic political turmoil. The androids are programmed to grant humans their greatest desire. Both androids fulfill their duties, with rather dark consequences. The novel mixes political allegory, metaphysics and a touchingly beautiful lesbian love story. Told in a desultory, opiated prose. - In 1984 Divine Endurance, a science fiction novel for adults, was published under her own name and in which she created the term gynoid. - CONDITION & DESCRIPTION OF THE BOOK - The original dustjacket houses this book.
