About the Book

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 Technology is obsolete.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, a Garden of Eden manufactured by GenieCorp(TM) that meets Mankind's every need, whim, and fancy with biological Creature Comforts(TM). Illness, war, poverty, famine, and death are gone. And so are love, parents, children, and families. A world where 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(TM) 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.
About the Author: Aurelio O'Brien grew up in a raucous household full of uniquely gifted siblings in the heart of Silicon Valley before there were PCs, cell phones, and flat-screen TVs. His father worked in aerospace, on the Hubble Space Telescope and NASA's Space Shuttle, nurturing young Aurelio in an eclectic environmental medley of suburbia, cherry orchards, and cutting-edge technology. Aurelio's quirky creative talents led him to a successful career as an illustrator, animator, and graphic designer. With this novel, "EVE," Mr. O'Brien proves his unique artistic vision translates flawlessly into an enchantingly original, wryly satirical, and deftly penned novel. Always wanting to push arbitrary boundaries and advance the arts, Aurelio O'Brien also offers a second novel, "GENeration eXtraTERrestrial." This ten-episode epic presents the adventures of seven alien children, from birth to adulthood, exploring what growing up can be like when you enter the world with physical characteristics, talents, and thoughts that are just a little different from those of your peers.
