The Stone Gods

In a future where Earth has been made increasingly uninhabitable, humanity prepares to colonize a new blue planet. Billie Crusoe, a rebellious young woman, and Spike, a sentient Robo sapien, become involved in the colonization effort and fall in love. Their journey unexpectedly connects past, present, and future, linking episodes of human history and environmental destruction. The novel examines repetition in human behavior, technology, power, and humanity's relationship with the natural world.
