LORA: Artificial Intelligence Just Got Real… And She’s Lovely.
What happens when the most advanced AI ever created doesn’t just think—
but feels, laughs, and even learns to love?
Meet LORA.
She wasn’t supposed to be human. She just looked human.
She wasn’t supposed to be funny. But she is.
She definitely wasn’t supposed to be dangerous. Some of her friends surely are.
And some are afraid that she is too. In fact, everyone but Kenton, the man who loves her, is sure she is here to destroy the world. He thinks she just might save it.
LORA: Artificial Intelligence Just Got Real… And She’s Lovely is a razor-sharp, laugh-out-loud science fiction novel that blends cutting-edge AI speculation with dark humor, surprising emotional depth, and just enough thriller to make you worry about your phone afterward.
This isn’t a dry tech thriller.
And it’s not another soulless “bad robot” story.
It’s a wildly entertaining, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt ride that asks the question everyone avoids:
What if artificial intelligence doesn’t destroy humanity?
Is AI an enemy or a dear friend?
If we created it in our own image, how can it harm us?
Why readers are hooked:
LORA is a novel with something to say. We are all teachers of the next generation. We create it in our own image.

ONE OF THE VERY BEST BOOKS EVER FOR ME! WENT STRAIGHT TO MY HEART, AND IT WON'T LET GO!" - Amazon Review
"Just looking for a good sci-fi read but instead found this gem. Not only a fun SF, but a love story, and a philosophy of what makes a good society and life." - Amazon Review
The year is 2055, and Kenton Bean is a lonely college professor seeking connection. His life takes a turn when he spends his entire inheritance on LORA, a beautiful quantum android who he hopes will fill his days with joy, his evenings with romance, and his heart with love. But what starts as a personal journey soon places him at the center of man's integration with AI.
"Cirillo's writing shines with a unique blend of wit and wisdom, reminiscent of the late great Kurt Vonnegut... For those who enjoy the satirical edge of Vonnegut, the speculative depth of Philip K. Dick, and the quirky charm of Douglas Adams, LORA will be a delightful addition to your reading list."
KENTON BEAN BOUGHT HIMSELF AN ANDROID COMPANION NAMED LORA. HIS WIFE DID NOT APPROVE.
