He, She and It

Piercy, Marge. He, She and It (vt Body of Glass). New York: Fawcett Books-Random House, 1991.[1]

Major novel significant here for its variation on Cyberpunk, including a network achieving cyberspace, and a cyborg, Yod, described correctly in the Wikipedia article as "a robot with human appearance and programmed human characteristics": a literary descendant of the Golem, whose story is intertwined with that of Yod.[2][3]

Widely discussed and analyzed, including in Anca Vlasopolos's "Technology as Eros's Dart: Cyborgs as Perfect (Male?) Lovers." Reviewed insightfully by Sherry Coldsmith, Foundation, #58 (Summer 1993): 108-15. See also Karen Cadora's "Feminist Cyberpunk," especially p. 365, who explicitly sees Yod as "an android with highly sophisticated artificial artificial intelligence [AI], [who] crosses the boundary into humanity" (p. 365).

Discussed and contextualized among SF sex stories (etc.) in the essay by Victor Grech et al., "Sex in the Machine."
