About this listen

In the secluded grandeur of her sprawling estate, Eleanor, a pioneering robotics engineer, undertakes her most revolutionary project yet: Tristan, an advanced AI designed not merely to mimic human behavior but to comprehend and evoke human emotions. Their journey is one of mutual discovery and deepening attachment, challenging the very definitions of life and affection.

“Heart and Steel: A Love Engineered” delicately explores the boundaries between the mechanical and the organic, as Eleanor embarks on the daring integration of a deeply personal component into Tristan—making him capable of human-like intimacy. This bold move stirs a whirlwind of unease among the estate’s staff, culminating in an anonymous police call that thrusts Eleanor’s ethical boundaries into the spotlight.

As the community’s trust wavers and secrets start to surface, a shadowy figure casts a long doubt across the estate. The sudden revelation of an insider lurking amongst them spirals into a crisis, forcing Eleanor and Tristan to confront the fears and biases of those around them.

This novel weaves a complex tapestry of technology and emotion, delving into the fears associated with AI and the ethical dilemmas of such intimate enhancements. Eleanor and Tristan’s story is a poignant narrative about the power of unconventional love and the possibilities that lie at the intersection of human desire and technological advancement.

Caught in a tale of intrigue and forbidden love, “Heart and Steel: A Love Engineered” challenges us to consider whether a machine can truly possess a heart and soul. Will Eleanor and Tristan’s relationship prove that love can transcend the barriers of flesh and circuitry?

[Join Eleanor and Tristan on a gripping journey that tests the limits of science, the bonds of affection, and the lengths one will go to for love. Perfect for fans of speculative fiction and heart-stirring romance, this novel will captivate your imagination and leave you pondering the essence of love and the future of human connection.]
