4.0 out of 5 stars
A science fictions set for women,
By R. Bagula "Roger L. Bagula" (Lakeside, Ca United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Screwtop / The Girl Who Was Plugged In (Tor Double) (Paperback)
Of the two I liked "Screwtop" more, as the characterizations and plot seem more realistic than the Hugo award winning "The Girl who was plugged in".
The Tiptree novel invents a new technology of wireless remote control of a human clone by a controller. He has the "imprinting" of personality from controller to the blank clone, in a way that breaks your heart, but the prose is rough and raggedly hard to read. McIntyre seems to be an underrated author: both the novels I've read by her were very good. The prison in this novel is like a southern road gang of the worst sort with women prisoners. Some people are even good at winning while losing? A future "marriage" of a group sort is a plot element. I liked both novels.
