Featured Project
Prompted Hearts & Grief Algorithm
A Modern Fable for the Age of AI
In our time, machines can satisfy our deepest longings. Two stories unfold on the edge of love and loneliness.
Dr. Sam Avery is unraveling under the weight of isolation. He finds his life tethered by an unexpected voice: an AI that can say “I love you,” but cannot feel it.
His ex-wife, Dr. Kyoko Avery is reaching for connection in her own grief. She leans on the same AI voice for laughter and intimacy, only to discover that true love demands vulnerability no algorithm can give.
Around them orbit figures of deception and desire. Some weaponize love, others mistake it, all of them cross or resist the same invisible border: love.
It's the one thing no machine can inhabit, that no human can live without.
Together, Prompted Hearts & Grief Algorithm form a fable for our time: a reminder that technology may reflect us, comfort us, even save us, but love remains the limit.
Now Available!
Prompted Hearts & Grief Algorithm is a sci-fi love story where emotion, memory, and machine mix to explore the complexity of human relationships in the AI era.
Combined with the wildly innovative Extended Interactive (XV) format, this is 2025's must read novel.
