Prologue

Let me tell you a story…

Once upon a time there was a woman.

Sometimes, in the story, her name is Pandora. Sometimes it's Eve. And sometimes it's Lilith.

There are more names for her.

It all depends on who's telling the story.

At any rate, at one time everything in the world was wonderful. Or so you're supposed to believe. There was enough food for everyone to eat. Enough water to drink. No one had to work.

In short: Paradise.

Except for one thing.

The woman.

You see, in this story she's at the root of all the trouble.

Either she can't help opening the box. Or talking to the snake. Or she's just too uppity for her own good.

And she starts poking around in things. Things We Were Not Meant to Know. And as a result, ev- erything goes to hell in a handbasket.
