Would you trust Siri with your love life? What if Alexa could find your perfect match? What if they took it into their own hands? Meet Aiden…
Jen is sad. Aiden wants her to be happy. Simple. Except that Jen is a 30-something woman whose boyfriend has just left her and Aiden is a very complicated, very expensive piece of software.
Aiden knows Jen inside out. With access to all her devices, he knows her favourite song (currently by Lana Del Rey), can find her favourite photos and single out the quotes which most inspire her ("I’m not sure why we’re here, but I’m pretty sure it’s not to enjoy ourselves" – Wittgenstein).
To achieve optimum wellbeing, and based on observations and unique algorithms, he has calculated that Jen needs to find a new man. With the whole of the internet at his disposal, he doesn't have to look far to select her perfect match and engineer a meeting. But what, exactly, makes human beings happy? And can a very-artificially-intelligent machine discover emotional intelligence in time to fix Jen's life?
Fans of The Rosie Project and classic romantic comedies will fall in love with this joyful and heart-warming story about human nature and what it means to be happy.
