Reception[]

Summer of Love was a finalist for the 1994 Philip K. Dick Award.[1]

Publishers Weekly described it as "psychedelic" and "quirky", and lauded Mason's "extrapolations (of) future social and environmental conditions" as "intriguing and plausible", but faulted it for having a "(r)ecycled premise and two-dimensional characters".[2] Entertainment Weekly called it "The Terminator in love beads".[3]

In 2013, David G. Hartwell included it on the New York Review of Science Fiction's list of "200 Significant Science Fiction Books by Women, 1984–2001".[4]
