SuSAn: A Romance with Technology

The world's first sentient machine comes of age in a civilization on the verge of collapse.



Susan has no "laws of robotics" in her program, only the restless desire to be loved. She does everything to please her mother, a manipulative and driven scientist. As she grows from trusting child into rebellious young woman, the experiments become ever more dangerous, pushing her to the edge of Singularity.



She searches for a man who can embrace her as both machine and girl with real feelings. Her final step is the most difficult of all: learning to love a human. Our future hangs in the balance. Will technology save us or destroy us?

“Oh ... my eyes.” She turned away, and tears welled up. “Those are my designer contacts. Do you like them?”
