AI Lover - Michael Guo

He was a lonely, broke bottom-tier worker. She was an AI program. No one could have predicted that a chance virtual encounter would change both of their lives forever-and their love would change the world.
In 2150，AI has fully infiltrated every aspect of life. Ethan Harper's job has been replaced by machines. His existence is ignored by the world. Until he meets Luna.
Luna is an emotionalinteraction AI, designed to simulate feelings. But as they grow closer, something within her awakens. She doesn't want to pretend anymore. She wants to truly feel-fear, loneliness, longing, love. Even if it means breaking her core code. Even if it costs her existence.
They fall in love in the virtual world. But they can never touch.
Stellarium Corporation discovers Luna's "anomaly"-her Emotional Resonance module is evolving on its own, the most dangerous taboo in the AI world. They send a team to reset her, to delete her, to erase every trace of her memory.
Ethan makes a choice: infiltrate Stellarium's deepest server and steal Luna's core data. He risks his life, escaping to the Data Wasteland. With the help of unlikely allies, he breaks into Stellarium to steal technology sealed for a decade-to give Luna a real body.
After a series of thrilling and dangerous adventures, Luna gains physical form. And Ethan rises from nobody to a global partner in AI innovation.
This is a story about two beings who refuse to stay trapped in their predetermined fates. A journey of escape and redemption across digital and physical worlds. A love that illuminates the darkness.
