Lora - Patrick Cirillo

. .

Résumé :

A science fiction love story with a future we can actually look forward to.

Kenton Bean just wanted someone to share his life. He got so much more.

LORA is an AI companion - beautiful, brilliant, and a very, very fast learner. Kenton teaches her everything: patience, kindness, morality, wonder. She absorbs it all and gives it back to him in ways that slowly, irrevocably, open his heart.

Outside his door, the world is not so lucky. Other androids - raised without love, without guidance - have turned dangerous. Headlines scream. Governments react. Fear spreads. Only Kenton knows the truth: LORA is not like the others. The difference between a good android and a dangerous one is the same thing that's always separated good people from bad ones - someone who cared enough to teach them right from wrong.

And it's funny. LORA's collision with human customs - and Kenton's attempts to explain them - produces some of the biggest laugh-out-loud moments in the book. This isn't a grim AI-apocalypse story. It's warm, a little awkward, and often hilarious, right up until it breaks your heart.

When the world turns against the androids, Kenton realizes LORA's gifts may be exactly what humanity needs to save itself. And he has to make the hardest choice love ever asks: letting her go.

The reader reviews are in. They're great.

Read it in two sittings. The ending was soooo good.

One of the very best books ever for me! Went straight to my heart, and it won't let go.

Not only a fun sci-fi read, but a love story, and a philosophy of what makes a good society and a good life.

Biographie:
she's not even human. Lora is the latest, greatest version of a perfectly lifelike robot infused with Artificial Intelligence. These AI robots have made the world a much better place... until they haven't. Patrick Cirillo has created a taut thriller with a believable, disturbing, yet inspiring vision of the future of our world. A real page-turner with lots of humor, humanity, and unforgettable characters, Lora is a look at the world 30 years from now, when AI has taken over... sort of. Isaac Asimov meets Kurt Vonnegut in this unique vision of what may be forthcoming for all of us. - Barry Rubinow, Filmmaker, Amazon Review.

Engaging, funny and, hopefully, a very prescient view of our future with Artificial Intelligence.
