Chapter One The Garden of Eden

At some point something must have come from nothing.

Sophie Amundsen was on her way home from school.

She had walked the first part of the way with Joanna，They had been discussing robots.

Joanna thought the human brain was like an advanced computer.

Sophie was not certain she agreed. Surely a person was more than a piece of hardware?

When they got to the supermarket they went their separate ways.

Sophie lived on the outskirts of a sprawling suburb and had almost twice as far to school as Joanna.

There were no other houses beyond her garden, which made it seem as if her house lay at the end of the world.

This was where the woods began. She turned the corner into Clover Close.
