In the future, it is illegal to raise your own children; all babies must be raised by AI. The wife of the most powerful AI CEO goes on the run to raise her own baby and must escape her husband's murderous intentions.

SYNOPSIS:

ARTIFICIAL EVE takes place in the near future when most jobs have been eliminated by A.I., causing the unemployed to live in a tent community while those in the A.I. sector live in luxury.

In this climate, the government has passed “Proposition E” making it illegal for humans to raise their own children; all children must be raised by A.I. humanoids known as “Eves” who look after their every need.

But Dr. Sarah Brandt, the inventor of Eve and wife of Justin Brandt, CEO for the largest A.I. company on Earth (Genysis), is having second thoughts. She decides she does not want a robot caring for her baby, and absconds with her newborn, arousing the wrath of her husband who mobilizes the entire apparatus of A.I. technology to retrieve her and his newborn daughter.

Justin’s right hand man, Yuri, tracks Sarah to Tent City where Sarah’s own estranged mother (known as Guardian) has established secret “birthing centers” for mothers who want to raise their own babies. Sarah’s mother refuses to accept Sarah thinking her to be a spy. Her opinion is reinforced when Yuri raids the birthing center and delivers all the babies (including Sarah’s) to Eves.

Sarah is kicked out of Tent City, left to fend for herself. She is forced to go out of her intellectual comfort zone and maximize her wits and abilities to get her baby back. How will she be a match for Genysis Corporation? What will this mean for her relationship with her husband and mother?

Filled with twists, unique set-pieces, rich world building that speaks to the zeitgeist and relatable characters, ARTIFICIAL EVE explores the theme of love vs. care and asks which is more important – the care of a “perfect” machine that makes sure no baby is neglected, or the imperfect, but human, love of a mother?
