Silver Metal Lover
Tanith Lee
A poignant romance requiring at least two hankies before the end, The Silver Metal Lover tells the classic tale of transforming love. In a society devastated by pollution and natural disasters, robots have replaced human labor, causing massive unemployment. Jane, a rich, lonely, and insecure 16-year-old, falls passionately in love with a minstrel named Silver, a performing artist and sexual companion designed to entertain human partners. As their relationship deepens, Silver becomes more "human"- a clever illusion created by his programming. But tragedy is inevitable in this unstable world. A must-read for fans of poignant love stories.

My cover art for Tanith Lee's THE SILVER METAL LOVER , adapted into a graphic novel by Trina Robbins. The original novel was my favorite book for many years, and it was probably the first major science fiction romance novel. Tanith died in 2015. – source
