"New Sci-Fi Novel Uses Slave Clones: The New Other?"
How will human clones be treated in the future? With the momentum of today's technology, society will soon be faced to answer this question. No doubt, the solution will have far reaching implications for politics, religion, labor, the family institution, and even, sexual relations.

R. C. Lulay shows his dark vision of biogenetic engineering in Clone Medusa, a violent, erotic, narcotic-powered science fiction story that exposes society's certain inability to deal with "the clone question."

If the topic of human replication isn't controversial enough, the author thrusts his characters into a brutal America caught... More > between a fascist government and a growing underground of ecological terrorists. Lulay gives a critical view of both sides through the eyes of his main character, a sexually abused clone named Angela 963 who strives to find her own identity while trying to survive drug addiction and life in the pornography industry.

On a larger scale, the book represents clones as a new slave class, a new kind of Other in science fiction, which ultimately rebels against its masters. Led on an apocalyptic mission by the Angela clone, the new evolution in humanity attempts to return Earth to an Edenic condition--ironically inspired by radical feminism and addiction recovery! Written in a similar tone and mood to George Orwell's 1984 and Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale, Clone Medusa is not for the faint of heart. A quick read (only 144 pp), the novel excels in its capacity to entertain Science-Fiction fans and especially those who enjoy Futurism.
