Pixelated Hearts: Love in 22nd Century, (Paperback)

<p><strong>In the 22nd century, love is a solved algorithm-but some variables refuse to be controlled.</strong></p><p>Under the omnipresent gaze of <strong>The Nexus</strong>-an AI that optimizes every aspect of human life-Earth is efficient, orderly, and dying. Dr. Maya Dubois, a brilliant systems architect who finds comfort in the code, and Dr. Leo Solis, a rebellious propulsion engineer who finds beauty in chaos, are the glitch in this perfect system.</p><p>Their connection wasn't scripted by any compatibility protocol. Forged in the fires of professional rivalry, this <strong>Enemies to Lovers Sci-Fi</strong> romance blooms amidst the cold logic of a machine world.
