The robot Pentser is the last of his kind. Technology is obsolete. It only exists in museums and the collections of oddballs like Govil. Govil is a 19th Century Romantic living in a 31st Century utopia, in a Garden of Eden manufactured by GenieCorp, meeting Mankind's every need, whim, and fancy with biological Creature Comforts . Illness, war, poverty, famine, and death are gone. And so are love, parents, children, and families. Were everyone is eternally happy, healthy, and wealthy; everyone but Govil. Like any other decent 19th Century Romantic hero, Govil needs to discover a great love, a great cause, and Pentser is game to help. Man and robot team up to do the unthinkable, create a deliberately average, normal woman, Eve. In the conflict which ensues, Govil, Pentser, Eve, and GenieCorp each in turn experience the same eternal law: beware of what you wish for, it may come true. EVE is Aurelio O'Brien's vividly original, sharp, sweet, and satirical tale of Govil's adventure. Part Swift, part Shelley, and a little Shaw, EVE takes place in a future that is both stunning and silly, beautiful and earthy, but at all times grounded in the obscure psychology of human desire."
