A share of Ken Liu's classic 2004 short story 'The Algorithms for Love,' originally published in Strange Horizons. It follows a grief-stricken designer of lifelike dolls — including 'Clever Laura' — as she reflects on the hollow routines of emotional algorithms versus real love. A fitting literary companion for debates about AI and human connection.
