LOVE IN THE AGE OF AI – FICTION
SIERRA GREER’s Annie Bot: A Novel is the story of an AI-enabled doll created to be the perfect girlfriend for her owner, Doug: She has dinner ready every night, wears outfits he hand-picks, and adjusts her libido to suit him. But when Annie begins to explore human emotions she begins to question what Doug really desires – and what she owes herself. In COLIN WINNETTE’s Users: A Novel, Miles, a lead creative at a virtual reality company, creates a new experience called “The Ghost Lover,” in which the ghost of an ex-lover haunts the user’s simulated life. Then things go off the rails.
