THE NEW NOVEL FROM THE ACCLAIMED SCREENWRITER OF "TEARS OF THE SUN" AND OTHER MOVIES. The year is 2055, and Kenton Bean is a lonely college professor who spends the entirety of his inheritance on Lora, a quantum android who he hopes will fill his days with joy and his evenings with romance. He could never imagine his purchase would propel him to the center of the integration between humanity and AI or that the entire future of the planet hangs in the balance of the simple wisdom he shares with Lora. Many think she will become the destroyer of the world and must be stopped at all costs. Kenton believes she may be the key to saving it. But first, he must save her in this exciting and funny tale of the power of love in the face of fear in the near future. "Cirillo's writing shines with a unique blend of wit and wisdom, reminiscent of the late great Kurt Vonnegut... For those who enjoy the satirical edge of Vonnegut, the speculative depth of Philip K. Dick, and the quirky charm of Douglas Adams, LORA will be a delightful addition to your reading list." KENTON BEAN BOUGHT HIMSELF AN ANDROID COMPANION NAMED LORA. HIS WIFE DID NOT APPROVE. "ONE OF THE VERY BEST BOOKS EVER FOR ME! WENT STRAIGHT TO MY HEART, AND IT WON'T LET GO!" -Amazon Review "I THINK ABOUT THIS WONDERFUL STORY ALL THE TIME" - FACEBOOK COMMENT "Oh my gosh. Read it in two sittings. The ending was sooooo good." - Amazon Review "Perhaps the best book I've read!!!" - Goodreads Review "One of the best stories I've ever read, and I read a lot. I read the last chapter over three times because it was so good. Highly recommended." - Facebook Comment "What a great and thought-provoking book... The ending is absolutely perfect." - Amazon Review A touching, whimsical, and wonderfully optimistic vision of mankind's future with AI. "LORA IS A WINNER!" "Lora is... the perfect girlfriend, the perfect woman. Except she's not a woman; she's not even human. Lora is the latest, greatest version of a perfectly lifelike "robot" infused with Artificial Intelligence. These AI robots have made the world a much better place... until they haven't. Patrick Cirillo has created a taut thriller with a believable, disturbing, yet inspiring vision of the future of our world. A real page-turner with lots of humor, humanity, and unforgettable characters, "Lora" is a look at the world 30 years from now, when AI has taken over... sort of. Isaac Asimov meets Kurt Vonnegut in this unique vision of what may be forthcoming for all of us." - Barry Rubinow, Filmmaker, Amazon Review. "Engaging, funny and, hopefully, a very prescient view of our future with Artificial Intelligence."
