Seventeen-year-old Eve's mother has put her to work in her bio-research lab, designing "the perfect boy." This is just a simulation, right? The text is rife with apt allusions to Frankenstein, the book of Genesis, Michelangelo’s The Creation of Adam, and even Pygmalion; a love triangle element will keep readers engaged on a level beyond the scientific speculation.
