  1. 1. A Working Theory Of Love

    A recently divorced San Francisco tech worker helps build an artificial intelligence modeled on his late father’s vast diaries, spending his days conversing with a machine that sounds like the man he lost. As he trains the program to pass for human, he unearths family secrets, grapples with the fallout of his father’s suicide, and navigates messy new relationships, probing the boundaries between memory, intimacy, and what it might mean for a mind—human or digital—to love.
