This is a civilization in which tensions between male and female and the human preoccupation with sex no longer exist. Charlie finds that the human precepts he holds dear are profane in this new world. But has Charlie learned all there is to know about this advanced society? And why are the Ledom people so intent on gaining Charlie's approval? Unsettling, compelling, and no less than visionary,Venus Plus Xis Theodore Sturgeon's brilliant, original, and insightful speculation on gender and civilization.
