In Optima, love isn't felt; it's calculated. Pete Alvarez and Jane Iqbal
have just been declared the one thing the Algorithm cannot compute: unmatchable.
Pete has spent his whole life building walls and calling them a personality.
Jane has spent hers optimizing herself into something the system should want.
to a city of millions, they're shunted into the same mandatory counseling
program and expected to comply.
Instead, they start asking questions.
The answers are buried in corrupted files, whispered by resistance fighters
living beneath the city's surface, and encoded in the disappearance of a boy
no one is supposed to remember. Optima's Algorithm doesn't just predict love.
It hunts the people who feel too much, and it's been doing it for forty years.
Pete hides his depths behind jokes that land just enough to be dangerous. Jane
analyzes everything, including the way she cannot stop noticing him. They
shouldn't trust each other. They definitely shouldn't fall in love in a city
that treats emotion as a threat to national stability.
Then they kiss on a live broadcast.
The most powerful AI in the world crashes.
And the Algorithm begins learning from them.
For readers who believe the most dangerous thing in a surveillance state
isn't rebellion, it's feeling something real. Scroll up to start reading.
