L'Ève future by comte de Auguste Villiers de L'Isle-Adam
"L'Ève future" by comte de Auguste Villiers de L'Isle-Adam is a symbolist science fiction novel published in 1880. When Lord Ewald confides to his friend Thomas Edison that he's contemplating suicide over his beautiful but empty-souled fiancée, Edison proposes an extraordinary solution: he will construct a perfect android replica named Hadaly. As Edison reveals the mechanical details of his creation and duplicates Alicia's physical form, questions emerge about artifice, perfection, and what
makes a woman truly alive—leading to an unexpected supernatural twist. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
