Summary "New Apples in the Garden" by Kris Neville is a science fiction story written in the early 1960s. The narrative focuses on Eddie Hibbs, an underground supervisor at a utility company, illustrating the complexities and challenges of modern technology and the human element interacting with it. The book deals with the inevitable issues arising from technological progress and human fragility against the backdrop of societal challenges. The storyline follows Eddie as he navigates a series of professional crises at work, including the aftermath of a tragic accident involving one of his crew members, Ramon Lopez.
