Synopsis

This romantic science fiction novel follows a neurotic 37-year-old who orders an adanced Robodoll, hoping she will be his new sex object.  Instead he discovers a robot who doesn’t look like a robot and is more advanced than he is, including knowing how to love.  Along the way Henry not only becomes intimately acquainted with the most technologically advanced orgasm reflex he has ever encountered, but also with a robot that can speak 66 languages, sing opera, dance ballet, cook international cuisine and read people’s minds.  A surprisingly funny fantasy adventure with an underlying psychological meaning, it follows Henry as he introduces his robodoll to society and finds out who she is and what she can do.  The more he introduces her to society, the more complicated his life becomes.  The novel reaches a turning point when she joins a pick-up softball game in Central Park and stuns everybody with her amazing performance, thereby provoking attention from the FBI, Hollywood, the New York Yankees and various others, sending Henry into a meltdown.  ROBODOLL is a novel that indirectly probes not only the meaning of love but also the meaning of life, and is reminiscent of classics like Brave New World, 1984 and Gulliver’s Travels.

    I don't believe in love. But then again, up until a week or so ago, I didn't believe in aliens either. And yet here I am having been abducted, stranded on a jungle planet, and now surrounded by a tribe of huge, protective aliens with wings and tails. At least these are the good guys. 
     
     
     
    Their leader, Rynn, is convinced I'm the reason the skin on his chest is lit up like a Christmas tree, particularly the area directly above his heart. But that's just some weird alien biochemical reaction. Just like all supposed 'love', right?

    The drilling rig had reached miles below the Atlantic ocean, relentlessly grinding downward towards the largest proven oil reserves on the planet. Atlantic oil was determined to be the first to tap it and so drove with frenzied purpose 24 hours a day. Atlantic Oil had immense resources and used them all to beat out the competition. Unfortunately the engineer in overall charge of the operations had grown just a tiny bit complacent in later years, becoming more of a political engineer than a practical engineer. And so it was that the tiny leak that started in the armored casings was not seen as serious at all. It simply could not be serious, his career said it was impossible. But the leak had other ideas.
