Celia's body is not her own, but even her conscious mind can barely tell the difference. Living on the cutting edge of biomechanical science was supposed to allow her to lead a normal life in a near-perfect copy of her physical self while awaiting.
Jennifer Pelland's 'Captive Girl' is a slightly disturbing love story between a woman so integrated with machinery that she is effectively disabled and the scientist who needs her to be that way. 'Machine' echoes that, the story motivated by a woman becoming a machine, and her wife's refusal to accept her as one. Jennifer Pelland's Captive Girl is a slightly disturbing love story between a woman so integrated with machinery that she is effectively disabled and the scientist who needs her to be that way. Machine echoes that, the story motivated by a woman becoming a machine, and her wife's refusal to accept her as one. The novel's protagonist, Celia, copes with the pain of this rejection by trying to become more of a machine, in a quest to transform away all remnants of her humanity. Machine is Pelland's first novel. She has published quite a bit of short fiction but I have read exactly none of it so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. As it turned out, Machine does quite a few things I like to see in a science fiction novel. First and foremost, delivering plenty of food for thought.
