The Stone Gods (novel)
The Stone Gods is a novel written by Jeanette Winterson. Published in the year 2007, the novel is a post-apocalyptic, postmodern, dystopian love story, with themes of corporate government control, the harshness of war, artificial intelligence, and technology. The novel is self-referential as characters make inter-textual references, while certain characters’ story arcs repeat. The novel aims to warn against history's tendency to repeat itself, as well as humanity's inability to learn from past mistakes.

A novel in four parts

 "Easter Island" – Set in the 18th century, when Easter Island's inhabitants destroyed many of the moai statues, and the last tree, on their island.
 "Post-3War" – Set in "Tech City" after World War III, with Billie educating Spike, a Robo sapiens.
 "Wreck City" – Once again set in the "Tech City", now a derelict, trash-ridden city where those abandoned by the corporate-controlled society struggle to survive.
