Carter, Raphael

Summary: Talk about imaginative--the narrator of this book is a whale. It concerns a highly technological future society where there is no privacy, even in your mind, and homosexuality is a crime. Extremely well done.

Summary: Andrej Koscuisko is a doctor whose social position has forced him into the job of Ship's Surgeon, which means part of his job is torturing political prisoners. Though he is a moral man, he discovers he really enjoys that aspect of his work. Lots of (male) homoerotic tension. The other two books in the series are not nearly as good.

Summary: Sequel to Dreamships. Concerns the possibility of artificial intelligence and what the existence of such a being would mean to all aspects of society, especially the downtrodden coolies who are rioting in the streets.

Christian, Deborah    

Category: Alien society
Summary: An assassin's ability to shift between alternate time lines makes it easy for her to avoid being caught. I call the main character a lesbian because of her obvious interest in one of her clients, though no affair ever develops.

Atwood, Margaret    

Category: Dystopian future
Summary: Dystopian future where ultra-conservative Christians have taken over part of the United States and conscripted fertile women to bear children for high-ranking men. I disliked this book because the main character was a wimp, but her best friend was a lesbian.

Gilman, Charlotte Perkins

Summary: Set just before World War I, the story concerns an all-female society that is discovered by three male explorers. I haven't read it in 20 years, so it is unrated.
