Synopsis

At last an uproarious scifi comedy that will have you laughing until your sides ache. You've never had a hangover like this before! 200 years in the future, Edward Temple, a "uniquely ordinary person" wakes up a human pawn in a super computer's cosmic plan to reveal a universal truth to the world that will change the very nature of our existence. Join the adventure in a world where self-aware super-computers are as argumentative, egotistical, demanding, and emotionally needy as the humans they serve. Edward and his new love interest Amanda are caught up in a zany cat and mouse chase from Earth to the far side of the Moon. Not knowing who they're running from, or even why they are being chased; they must navigate befuddled governments, psychotic software, greedy corporations, overly attentive robots, and romance.The science and technology that characterizes the environment in the book is an extension of the today's most advanced research and development efforts. and the quest to discover God challenges society's philosophical and religious underpinnings, placing the characters in outlandish, comedic situations. So buckle up, put your seat backs and tray tables in their upright position. You've never experienced a world quite like this!ReviewsBill Nye “The Science Guy”“We join Edward as a regular guy living a regular life, albeit centuries hence. From page one, his world comes right at you, one fantastic futuristic function and worldwide wonder after another. Eftimiades wants us perhaps to ponder what we are all doing here on Planet Earth. Open it up, and hang on.”Bill Prady, Co-Creator, The Big Bang Theory TV Show“With his comedic dystopian future history populated by hapless reluctant heroes and lovesick artificial intelligences, Nick takes a big step toward becoming the American Douglas Adams.”Dr. Buzz Aldrin, Apollo 11 Astronaut“Edward of Planet Earth” is a thought-provoking satire about life in humanity’s high tech future and the impact on social, political, and religious institutions. Edward is here, look out planet Earth.”
