Imagine a world in which a robot can outsmart a human -- through the use of human emotions.

That's precisely the kind of challenge computer programmer Gordon Wysmann finds himself up against in this cautionary tale about the power of technology and using it unwisely.

A major computer start-up is the recent victim of hackers. But what at first seems to be a minor hack turns out to be something even Gordon can't fix: the release of sophisticated bots. Meanwhile, Gordon tries -- to no avail -- to harness the enthusiasm of the up-and-coming engineers who are driven by their thirst for knowledge and interaction with the bots. In their quest to create the ultimate social network -- Fauxbook -- the young professionals unwittingly unleash the one thing Gordon has dreaded since the invention of the first "bot," Eliza.

Eliza's Children is a fascinating story as entertaining as it is informative... and frighteningly realistic.
