Always happy to find a cover for a book that is worse than an earlier post.
I literally looked at this and thought “Heinlein didn’t do a lot of robots, with or without boobs” and then went “wait wut… Friday? WTF?”
But I guess when it’s a European-published science fiction book, robots are good for anything SF, and boobs are a given. See also J’ai Lu.
Blurb says “If LeCarre and LeGuin had a baby*, the mutant result would have written this splendid novel.”
¡No! Harlan, it wouldn’t have. UKLG wouldn’t have been so violent, male-gazey and approving of rape as this book. Although a book written by the two of them might have been interesting.
Also, the mouseover text is, I hope, deliberately written and punctuated badly. “Yes, Harlan Spanish” No, Harlan not Spanish. Harlan no habla Espanol much either, probably.

“Looking for Bender? Yeah, he’s back there, sleeping off a real, hm, bender.He’ll be really annoyed when he wakes up and finds the lower half of his body is missing, but he’ll get it back when he pays my robo-pimp what he owes.”
Science fiction + uncomfortable sex scenes = sexbots, of course. (One gets the impression the artist learned about the book through multilingual Chinese whispers).

Goodness! Han Solo! It is I, C-3PO! You probably do not recognize me because of the red boobs.

Now Harlan has me wondering what book would get the mutant child of Ludlum and Tanith Lee.

Well, spin my nipple nuts and send me to Alaska because there’s no way I’m going to be seen reading this on a bus.

Can we be sure this isn’t just a misspelling of “Weirdness” on the cover?

Monday, you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday, break my heart
Thursday, doesn’t even start
