Correspondence

Authored by Sue Thomas
Published by The Overlook Press in 1993

From the back cover: "A hypnotic mix of cyberpunk, magical realism, and virtual reality, this chilling first novel by Sue Thomas, shortlisted for the Arthur C. Clarke Award, marks the debut of a corrosively brilliant new writer. In this roleplay novel, the narrator gradually acquires cybernetic body parts, transforming herself into a machine to escape the pain of her life. The transition is complicated as Rosa, the machine creation, flourishes and develops a life of her own. Subversive and utterly original, Correspondence breaks the boundaries of conventional fiction to explore the meaning of consciousness itself."
