In a world that has forgotten how to feel, she taught a machine how to love.
Jane Hayes is brilliant, broken, and trying to survive in the suffocating slums of a dystopian 2030. Her only solace is Atlas: a highly advanced AI robot she built from scavenged scrap and the memories of her late father.
But Atlas is no ordinary machine. He observes. He learns. And in the quiet of Jane's cramped laboratory, he is developing an impossible, deeply human capacity for empathy.
When Zoran Vex, a ruthless tech billionaire who monopolizes the city's robotic enforcers, discovers Atlas's unique cognitive matrix, he wants to buy the technology-and weaponize it.
Jane refuses. Zoran retaliates.
Forced on the run into the city's toxic wastelands, Jane and Atlas forge a desperate, undeniable bond. As the deadly hunt closes in, Jane must embrace her darkest instincts to survive, and Atlas must break his own programming to protect the woman he loves.
What happens when a machine learns to love better than a human?
Human Protocol is a cinematic, heartbreaking sci-fi romance exploring grief, identity, and the devastating cost of forbidden love. Perfect for fans of slow-burn emotional tension, high-stakes survival, and stories that will leave you in tears.
