ALGO: A Story of Love and Algorithm
Hanna works in a generative design agency, curating AI-developed branding when her life takes an unexpected turn. Upon realizing that her coworker-turned-love-interest has engaged in the greatest act of intellectual property theft in history, she’s pulled into a world of AI manipulation, mixed reality, and otherworldly art installations. After failed kidnapping attempts, extortion, and violence they find themselves risking everything to expose how the algorithm underpinning the global economy has been used to subtly manipulate the world they live in.

In ALGO, Casey Milone imagines a future where every aspect of life is dictated by artificial intelligence. The main character, Hanna, strikes up a romance with a co-worker, who introduces her to an underworld of rebellion.

Milone has done a brilliant job of creating a full-realised future, with the perfect balance of the familiar and the unfamiliar. As with the best speculative fiction, there were enough similarities with present-day society to give a very real sense of dread. All of the things that were different made complete sense, and spoke to many of the cultural shifts we’re seeing today. I found the themes of how artificial intelligence stifles creativity to be particularly interesting, as it’s an aspect of AI that rarely gets discussed.
The writing and characters were very compelling, particularly Hanna and her main love interest Xin-Lao. You couldn’t help but root for them, and the story was incredibly engaging from the first page to the last. It’s quite a short book and I just wished there was more of it! It would have been great to flesh out the world and the characters even more.
Thank you to the author for providing me with a copy for review. All opinions are my own.

Tech and emotion perfectly integrared
Very well done. I demand to have characters I can like and situations that tease my intellect. This had good pacing. The action arose organically and did not overwhelm the plot.
