Tiptree Great - the others notso

March 28, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is an odd combo of two-books-in-one, where one totally carries the other. The Girl Who Was Plugged In, by Tiptree, is a Hugo winner and a sensational story. The rest, why bother. I read three chapters of Screwtop and didn't know what was at stake. The price was right, at a buck.

Comment

A science fictions set for women

September 19, 2008

Format: 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.
