Sinopsis
What would you give up to experience perfect Joy?
A hurricane strikes the Elysium Spa, and a gentle android named Tender can only save one of his guests - a fifteen-year-old girl named Virgo. She has the innocence of an infant - the Spa guests are born, reproduce, and die in scientifically calibrated baths that keep them in a state of perpetual ecstasy, called Joy. She has never walked, or spoken, or had a cogent thought.
Tender's sole purpose is to return Virgo to the state of bliss that is her birthright. He takes her on a journey across a post-apocalyptic American landscape depopulated by war, famine, and plague.
As Tender and Virgo struggle to survive, they come face to face with what it means to be a human on this earth. And they face a choice - embrace this painful, beautiful world, or return Virgo to an existence of mindless, but perfect, Joy.
JOY is lyrical post-apocalyptic fiction at it's best. A thrilling adventure, a coming of age story, and a profound exploration into what it means to be happy, and what it means to be human.

Acerca del autor
Benjamin Robert Murray Evett is an author of post-apocalyptic fiction. But he has spent most of his life as a professional actor. Ben grew up in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, then attended Harvard, where he studied Classics, but always knew that the arts were his home. He has performed all over the world - from Moscow to Edinburgh to Taipei. In 2015, he co-wrote "Albatross" - a solo performance piece based on Coleridge's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner". The play won two Elliot Norton awards in 2015. A career in the theatre can be brutal at times, and in 2017 Ben discovered the joys of writing. The idea for JOY came to him while walking his dog, Spike, and a new career was born.Ben now lives in a beautiful house by a pond outside of Boston, with his wife and their new dog, Zeppo.
