What this book is about
In a dystopian future, Shira Shipman returns to the free city of Tikva where a cyborg named Yod has been created as a protector. Interwoven with a retelling of the Golem legend, Piercy's Hugo and Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning novel is a feminist examination of identity, love, and what makes someone human.
