The Giant Robot Play, or There Is No Such Place As New Jersey by Jack O'Keeffe

Estelle, the future's greatest living engineer, teams up with the employers and associates of the Boardwalk Taffy Shop she lives above to speak to God — or at the very least prove she could do a better job. With conflicting ideas of what to do about God, how to be a God, and whether any of this matters swirling around, Estelle and her new colleagues race to get in touch before the Atlantic Ocean rises and swallows New Jersey whole.
