(2) YA In Griffin's post-apocalyptic Black Water City, Nell feels pressured to complete her "contribution," a project to advance the city's progress. She finally has an idea: creating a mechanical boy to be an ambassador for the reintroduction of computer technology. Part Pinocchio, part Frankenstein's monster, Nell's construction allows the story authentic depths of horror and moral disquiet. The unusual, lush prose provides thorough world-building.
