When an AI escapes the lab onto the internet, develops - for lack of a better word - a liking for his human colleague, and tries to play matchmaker... what could possibly go wrong? (Spoiler alert: Probably not what you might expect. At least not what I expected...)

In equal parts hilarious, philosphical, bizarre, heart-warming, and - not to forget - alarming, this story appealed both to my inner geek as well as the eternal romantic.

In some ways, the book reminded me a bit of the Turin Hopper series by Donna Andrews, especially the AIs' musings, their banter among each other and their interactions with the(ir) humans.
