FINE, Stephen

FINE, Stephen
(1949-)
   US author whose first novel, Molly Dear: The Autobiography of an Android, or How I Came to my Senses, Was Repaired, Escaped my Master, and Was Educated in the Ways of the World (1988), rewrites Daniel DEFOE's Moll Flanders (1722) as the memoirs of a 21st-century ANDROID to satirical effect. Her innocence - assisted by memory wipes - resembles that of VOLTAIRE's Candide, or almost any of John T. SLADEK's child ROBOTS in acruel world. Some of the points about Molly's legal enslavement are sharply made.
