Produktbeschreibung

What if Adam and Eve never left The Garden of Eden? That simple question launches this hilarious joy of a novel "Genesis 2.0: Eat, Sleep, Know," a combination of religion, mythology and social commentary that reads like a fantasy novel in the tradition of Terry Pratchett, Christopher Moore and William Goldman. The Boss creates Adam and Eve, places them in The Garden and tells them not to eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil - and they don't. Instead of being banished in less than a generation, they stay where they are and know and know and know. Soon, there are a million grandkids, and great grandkids, and great great grandkids (etc.) underfoot with no end in sight to being fruitful and multiplying. The Boss wants to get His children out of The Garden and into the world, but how can He send anyone east of Eden when no one has sufficient curiosity to break His commandment? Well, He could always create some new people with enhanced curiosity... This fast-paced, lovingly crafted yarn will make you laugh and stick with you long after the last page is turned. Characters like Noah, Cassandra and Hyacinthus (Greek mythology), Romulus and Remus (Roman mythology) and Ask and Embla (Norse mythology) are all part of the family in this re-imagining of one of the oldest, most-read and best-loved stories in history. While reading this novel you'll also find out how the duck-billed platypus ended up with his dumb name, why the bald eagle has white feathers on his head and you'll learn who invented inventing. The e-book edition also features the short story that inspired this novel and a sample chapter from "Mentioned in Dispatches: A Novel of the Pre-Apocalypse" by Kyle G. Roesler.
