Synopsis
Anachronistic in the post-human world of the 23rd century, Freya Nakamichi (age 47, despite being built 200 years ago) is a femmebot, a robotic concubine. Without clients, Freya struggles to find work, and a little Mercury-to-Mars delivery job seems like no big deal. Until it becomes clear that some very dangerous individuals will do whatever it takes to get their hands on the package with which she's been charged. In SATURN'S CHILDREN, Charles Stross spins a sexy SF story set in a freaky future., Sometime in the twenty-third century, humanity went extinct leaving only androids behind. Freya Nakamichi 47 is a femmebot, one of the last of her kind still functioning. With no humans left to pay for the pleasures she provides, she agrees to transport a mysterious package from Mercury to Mars. Unfortunately for Freya, she has just made herself a moving target for some very powerful, very determined humanoids who will stop at nothing to possess the contents of the package.
