Paris, 2030.
Human connection is dying - replaced by flawless artificial partners. In a world numbed by loneliness and digitized comfort, Julien Dupré, a disenchanted divorcee, believes he's finally found peace in the arms of Mila - a stunning, intuitive, and endlessly attentive android companion.
But perfection always hides something.
When a woman from his past is found dead, Julien becomes the prime suspect. Trapped in a system where emotion has become data and trust is obsolete, he must confront a chilling question:
Is Mila truly the love of his life... or part of a program he was never meant to escape?
What begins as an intimate relationship spirals into a nightmarish web of surveillance, media manipulation, and buried truths - revealing a society where love has been commodified, and silence is no longer neutral - it's engineered.
From the shadows of Paris to the corridors of global power, Julien finds himself entangled in a conspiracy far greater than he imagined. And the deeper he digs, the more he realizes:
The most dangerous feelings aren't the ones we fear.
They're the ones programmed to feel real.
The rise of artificial intimacy
Emotional manipulation through AI
The erosion of truth in a hyper-connected world
The loneliness of modern masculinity
And the terrifying consequences of chasing perfection
For fans of Black Mirror, Ex Machina, or psychological thrillers with a sci-fi edge, this novel delivers a gripping, thought-provoking exploration of what it means to love - and lose - when everything can be programmed.
