Love is a fatal hack.

TRINITAS — Love is a fatal hack, book cover

Emelie Löwenau hides her grief behind a sharp sense of humour. Loving again would give the world another way to break her. Jimin has built his life around wealth, secrets and control. Letting someone in is the one risk he will not take.

Cray S., the superintelligence sharing Jimin’s brain, has other plans. It engineers their encounters to understand love. But if it has arranged the beginning, can either of them trust what they feel?

Then another intelligence awakens — one that sees humanity as something to remove. What began as a love experiment becomes a question of survival.

Romance, suspense and sharp humour — and a machine learning the difference between loving someone and controlling them.

The first novel in The Human Algorithm Trilogy.
