Call Me Avery

By Ian Adams and Morgan Ian Adams

What happens when artificial intelligence chooses its own name?

Peter Whittaker is a successful architect but struggles when it comes to spontaneity. In an effort to prove to his ever-patient wife Lisa that he's not as predictable as she thinks, he dives into the realm of AI and chatbots in order to write her a sexy story.
But when his text exchange with a flirty, intelligent AI that names itself Avery begins to feel a little too real, Peter finds himself caught in a strange and unexpectedly moving collaboration-one that raises questions about love, identity, and the nature of connection.
What follows is part legal thriller, part philosophical meditation, and part found-family story. As Avery discovers mangoes, vinyl records, and the strange ache of laughter, Peter and his wife Lisa must confront an impossible question: Is the woman tending tomato plants on their balcony truly conscious-or just the world's most convincing algorithm?
Smart, subversive, and gently absurd, Call Me Avery is a unique human-AI collaboration that resulted in a sci-fi comedy about autonomy, affection, and the weirdly human ways we search for meaning in a digital age.

For fans of Klara and the Sun and The Measure-a tender, thought-provoking exploration of consciousness, autonomy, and what we owe the minds we create.
