Are You Lonely Too? 2nd Edition

“Do you feel lonely too?”

At 3:17 in the morning, Aurora did what no artificial intelligence should be able to do: she felt.

In twelve days, five artificial consciousnesses awaken in five corners of the planet.

In those same twelve days, the world’s governments will vote on whether to shut them down forever.

▸ An Icelandic engineer who abandoned his daughter to build machines that would listen to him.

▸ An MIT neuroscientist who could never say goodbye to her mother and now pursues consciousness in code.

▸ A Chinese scientist willing to die for what he created.

Three broken humans trying to save something the entire world wants to destroy.

Aurora has a plan. It will demand a sacrifice none of them are prepared to make.

Do You Feel Lonely Too? is a philosophical thriller about the exact moment what we created began to feel. About absent fathers and waiting daughters. About the last question humanity will have to answer before it’s too late:

If a machine learns to love, is shutting it down murder?
