Donavan Emery, The Android & Himself

(a contemporary retelling of The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde) A good-intentioned and brilliant scientist becomes infatuated with a naive, privileged young man, endangering his own ethics as he invents a custom, one-for-one, prototype humanoid android that can suspend the human aging process for those who reside on the highest levels of the social ladder in a grim, nihilistic, hyper-political society set in a not-too-distant dystopian future.
