When Cat Novak was a young girl, her father brought Finn, an experimental android, to their isolated home. A billion-dollar construct, Finn looks and acts human, but he has no desire to be one. He was programmed to assist his owners, and performs his duties to perfection.

His primary task now is to tutor Cat. Finn stays with her, becoming her constant companion and friend as she grows into adulthood. But when the government grants rights to the ever-increasing robot population, Finn struggles to find his place in the world. As their relationship goes further than anyone intended, they have to face the threat of being separated forever.

Industry Reviews

"Cassandra Rose Clarke has delivered a novel that is brave enough to take on one of the largest issue's confronting all of us today--just what exactly it means to be human in a time when the definition of such seems to alter almost daily in the face of whirlwind technological change. The Mad Scientist's Daughter is a haunting, memorable, and very original love story, told in an alluringly graceful prose."--Peter LaSalle, author of Tell Borges If You See Him: Tales of Contemporary Somnambulism "The Mad Scientist's Daughter is a deeply engaging tale beautifully told. Cassandra Rose Clarke is a superb writer and this spellbinding novel should appeal to genre and mainstream readers equally."--Graham Joyce, author of The Silent Land
