When do clones become people?

The Echo Wife by Sarah Gailey

September 2, 2022 by Mobius_Walker Leave a Comment

BINGO – Scandal Evelyn, famed geneticist and ground-breaking scientist, discovers that her husband is leaving her for– well, her. A clone of her at least named Martine that her ex-husband created using her own research. A clone that should just be a tool used for a specific purpose and not something that should be treated like a human being. And yet, Martine the clone exists and operates in the world as a fully formed person, and Martine the clone has done something else that shouldn’t […]

The Importance of the Library

Deal With the Devil by Kit Rocha

September 5, 2021 by CoffeeShopReader 1 Comment

Bingo 18: Shelfie I knew there was going to be some romance going into Deal with the Devil, but I was really hoping the series title “Mercenary Librarians” would be more the focus. Sadly for me, this was definitely more romance than librarian-ness. Set in a somewhat generic dystopic US potentially within my lifetime (maybe, assuming I get close to the triple digit age) after humanity has been devastated by some massive solar flare activity (I liked how this was put in; not a big […]

The Echo Wife: Come for the thriller, stay for the ethical quandaries

The Echo Wife by Sarah Gailey

June 29, 2021 by msvreadsbooks Leave a Comment

I came to this novel for a domestic thriller, and I left with thoughts about science, ethics, and the nature of humanity and personhood.  Evelyn is a world-renowned scientist known for her work with clones. She’s developed a process by which you can have a fully developed adult quote cumin within about a little over three months. She’s kind of a big deal – winning awards and making waves in the scientific communities.  Personally, her life is a bit of a mess. She’s estranged from […]

“How foolish we were, to act as gods.”

Your One & Only by Adrianne Finlay

June 2, 2019 by cosbrarian Leave a Comment

For 300 years, there have been no humans on earth – at least not as we know them. As it became clear that the human race wouldn’t survive the Slow Plague, scientists formed an initiative to save humans by creating our survivors in a lab. Nine perfect humans were created – homo factus – and they were cloned and continue to be, creating the new society that now inhabit the earth.  Each of the three communities left on Earth maintains a society of 900 humans, […]

Six Wakes by Mur Lafferty

Clones in Space

July 7, 2017 by Gracey the Giant 2 Comments

In Six Wakes, The Dormire, a generational ship travelling to colonize the planet Athena, is manned by six clones and an AI. It is the responsibility of the clones, with the help of the AI, to fly the ship, make any needed repairs and keep the cargo of humans, clones and homesteading materials safe. Clones are chosen to man the ship due to the fact that the journey to Athena will take hundreds of years.  And, unlike a human crew, when the clones die, the […]

Wherein incest is rampant, for reals, trigger warnings ahoy

December 16, 2014 by Amanda 2 Comments

I kicked ass at reading this year (151 so far, whaaaaaaat) but totally, totally failed when it came to writing reviews.  But I wanted to post at least one because…futility is awesome?  I don’t know guys, just go with it. When I first heard about Kate Wilhelm about a year ago, I was inclined to like her.  “A female author writing sci-fi in the 60s/70s?  Hell yeah, screw Heinlein!”  Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang is the third book by Kate Wilhelm that I have […]
