Love in the Time of Algorithms: A Stem Rival - to - Lovers Romantic Comedy

By SAK

Two rival AI developers. Two rival dating algorithms. One impossible match neither of them can ignore.

Maya Rao believes love is measurable. Her platform, LUMA, finds compatibility beyond chemistry - and it has never been wrong. Ethan Cole believes attraction is disruption. His platform, SPARK, matches people who knock each other off their patterns. Their startups are finalists for the same multimillion-dollar HeartTech prize, and neither can afford a distraction.
Then LUMA returns the strongest compatibility result in company history. Maya's perfect match is Ethan. Hours later,

PARK independently reaches the same conclusion.
Neither accepts it. They agree to prove the algorithms wrong with a series of controlled experiments - and every experiment makes the match stronger.

But when Maya uncovers evidence that their result may not have been accidental, the rivalry turns into a mystery, the experiments turn into something real, and both of them have to decide: if an algorithm told you whom to love, would you still choose to do it yourself?

Sharp, warm, and funny, Love in the Time of Algorithms is a rivals-to-lovers romance about finding your person - even when a machine found them first.
