Publisher's Synopsis
"A PERFECT MODERN STORY" - Amazon Review
"ONE OF THE BEST ENDINGS I COULD HOPE FOR" - Amazon Review "Perhaps the best book I've read!!!" - Goodreads Review "What a great and thought-provoking book... The ending is absolutely perfect." - Amazon Review A touching, whimsical, and wonderfully optimistic vision of mankind's future with AI.The year is 2055, and Kenton Bean is a lonely college professor whose concerns are mundane. He's an ordinary man who spends the entirety of his inheritance on Lora, a quantum android who he hopes will fill his days with joy and his evenings with romance.
He could never imagine that he would become the beating heart of the integration between humanity and AI. He certainly couldn't anticipate the threat of an apocalyptic revolution between the two forms, that the futures of humanity and AI both hang in the balance of the choices he makes, that his life is in peril, or that he is about to become the single most important human being in recorded history. If someone suggested it to him, he would laugh in their face.
But it is true. In the entire history of the world, no one had ever been, or would ever be, as vital to the future of mankind as Kenton Bean.Kenton Bean, however, sees his life with Lora simply as a love story and nothing more.
"LORA IS A WINNER!" "Lora is... the perfect girlfriend, the perfect woman. Except she's not a woman; 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."
