Welcome to Eden, the city of Robots! A perfect utopia for all those who are not alive. Gorge yourself on as much oil or human food (your choice) as you can handle at the Pit Stop. Trying to find other humans? I'm afraid you won't succeed, since they were banned and wiped out over 200 years ago. Gotta warn you though, if you go looking for them, asking questions, or turn out to be one of them, we have to take you in to the Mayor. He doesn't like people sticking their noses where they don't belong. After that, I have no idea what might happen to you. But, if you obey our rules and are 100% not alive, you should get along pretty well here! Unless you're actually a human... Are you? (I came up with the idea for this book when I was standing in the dark one night, and the movie Robots suddenly came to mind even though I had never seen it. I envisioned the robots as evil and wondered whatever happened to the humans that lived there. Were they turned to robots, pushed away when they asked for solitude, or exterminated without others knowing? I then thought of what might happen if a human suddenly showed up with no memories, Maze Runner style. And therefore, Alone was born.)
