The Fortunate Man

If God wanted a robot body, he'd get Leslie to built it. A fastidious engineer, Leslie has nearly ensouled his latest machine with the most humanlike and ideal traits ever achieved. But while he passes the brink of creating divine sentience, a slovenly and inept government spy interferes with the project. The clumsy watcher, whom Leslie dubs Mr. Potbelly, has gotten close enough to destroy the delicate brain networks perfect enough for God himself.

Morose about his overprotective family and the meddlesome, galling spies, Leslie must test himself and the cosmos. He must see if his lifelong suspicions of providence have come true. The enmity between himself and the spies could result in deadly karma or worse: a miracle that proves Leslie only exists to create the Second Coming.

If you love roboticists, get "The Fortunate Man" now for the almighty plan God devised in a tech noir future.
