MASON, Lisa

MASON, Lisa
(1953-)
   US writer who began publishing sf with "Arachne" for Omni in 1987, a tale she expanded into her first novel, Arachne (1990), a tightly composed kitchen-sink narrative set in a post-earthquake San Francisco, in CYBERSPACE, and in the heart of a complex corporate world, with a toughfemale lawyer as protagonist, a maimed AI personality as trickster and dubious colleague, and cyberspace-haunting human personas everywhere at risk from AIs longing to acquire unprogrammed human virtues. As yet LM is still writing in a rather crowded Californian grotto, and does not shift very far in her second novel, Summer of Love (1994), which is fantasy; she gives, therefore, the impression of being an author it is far too early to attempt to define.
