"The Created Couple" concerns the Manikin family, a group of seven robots, or AI units, created somewhat on the cheap by computer scientist extraordinaire Bessie Manikin. After a series of mishaps, the main character, Kendall Manikin joins forces with his recently upgraded sister Nancy, a Christian unit, for a high-tech religious adventure.
Working for Homeland Security, Kendall and Nancy must track Russians Ivan and Ada Maslov, a second created couple fashioned by the god Lovejoy. It is Lovejoy’s goal to think the world out of existence so that it becomes only thoughts in his mind, in the well-known immaterialist manner of Bishop Berkeley.
Kendall determines that this will have dire consequences for the Earth and its people, and vows to stop Lovejoy.
