Books I Like: Eye Candy by Ryan Schneider

Blurb:
Candy Calvin has it all. She’s a respected robopsychologist who specializes in the care and feeding of robots, particularly those belonging to Los Angeles’ wealthy elite. Her best friend Susannah helps Candy run her practice. The only thing Candy is missing is someone special with whom she can share her life. Until one day, on a whim, she visits an online dating site. She soon finds a profile she likes: ROBOSTUD2047. They agree to meet for dinner. But when Candy lays eyes on him, she gets more than she bargained for, including a trip into orbit, a midnight ride in a ViperJet, and a revelation that rattles her to her core.


Danny Olivaw is a renown roboticist famous for his books on the inner workings of artificially-intelligent beings. When he’s not writing, he flies his jet and hobnobs with celebrities and movie stars. His roommate Floyd is a screenwriter and actor who convinces Danny to try online dating. EYECANDYPh.D.D. immediately catches Danny’s eye. They agree to meet at Chateaux Pizza and before Danny can get over the statuesque beauty before him, she’s sampling his bruschetta and tasting his wine. Danny knows instantly that he’s head over heels for Candy. But things aren’t always what they seem, and Danny soon finds himself in a downward spiral in his quest to reunite with Candy.

Packed with action, comedy, romance, and an ensemble of lovable characters, EYE CANDY is an uplifting roller coaster ride in the time of robots.

I believe a story should entertain you, inspire you. Make you think. Make you feel. That's why I wrote Eye Candy.

It is now available worldwide.

OK. Every once and awhile you run across one of those books. You know what I mean - Books that are enjoyable and addicting. Eye Candy by Ryan Schneider is one of those books.

This is a novel which is both entertaining, and thought provoking.

I don't want to spoil anything for you, because following the puzzle of the story is part of the fun. but I will say if you enjoy Battlestar Galactica, you'll like this book. Technically this book is not Space Opera, though it is Science Fiction.

Not everything is as it seems when you first dive into the story. You should ask yourselves: What is human? What is love?

One of the things I also enjoyed about it is, all the quirky characters and there is an almost Truman Show-esque reality to what you are reading. I actually fear that is nearly too much of a spoiler...
