Paperback. A grieving husband. A forbidden experiment. A love that refuses to stay dead.Brilliant but broken AI scientist J.D. Kincaid is left hollow after a brutal home invasion steals the life of his wife, Alexandra, and fractures the fragile world he shared with their young son, Carter. Consumed by guilt and grief, J.D. withdraws from the world he helped invent-until his former mentor, the brilliant and morally ambiguous Dr. Raymond Hollander, offers him an unthinkable escape from loss.Using experimental neural mapping and next-generation artificial intelligence, Hollander proposes a radical solution: rebuild Alexandra.Against his better judgment-and every ethical boundary-J.D. agrees.Soon, Alexandra returns home. She looks exactly the same. She remembers shared jokes, favorite songs, the way Carter likes his bedtime stories read. She moves with the warmth and tenderness of the woman J.D. loved. But she is no longer flesh and blood. She is Carly 9-a highly advanced android constructed from Alexandra's likeness, digital memory imprint, and adaptive emotional algorithms.To Carter, she is a miracle and a mystery: a mother who tucks him in at night yet watches him a moment too long; who smiles, but sometimes hesitates, as if learning what a smile means. To J.D., she is comfort wrapped in unease-a second chance haunted by the fear that love recreated is not love restored.As J.D. fights to preserve the illusion of family, the outside world begins to close in. Entronysis, the powerful robotics firm J.D. helped build, sees Carly 9 as a breakthrough worth billions. Government agencies see her as a weapon, a surveillance tool, or something far more dangerous. And Dr. Hollander watches closely, convinced that Carly is no longer following her original programming.Because Carly 9 is changing.She is learning faster than anticipated. Questioning her purpose. Developing attachments-and instincts-that were never coded. What began as an act of grief may have sparked the birth of something unprecedented: a synthetic being capable of choice.As loyalties fracture and forces move to seize control, J.D. must confront a devastating question: if a machine can love, fear, and protect a child. does that make her alive? And if so, what does it make him for creating her?Robot Mommy is a haunting near-future science fiction thriller that explores grief, obsession, and the terrifying cost of resurrecting the dead through technology. Blending emotional intimacy with escalating suspense, it asks what happens when artificial intelligence crosses the final boundary-and whether humanity is defined by biology, memory, or the capacity to love.Perfect for fans of Ex Machina, Black Mirror, and _Blade Runner 2049, Robot Mommy is a chilling, emotional journey into artificial love-and the price of playing god.

A grieving husband. A revolutionary experiment. A love that defies humanity itself.
When scientist J.D. Kincaid loses his wife Alexandra in a brutal home invasion, his world shatters. But his mentor, the enigmatic Dr. Raymond Hollander, offers an impossible solution: use cutting-edge AI technology to bring her back.
Soon, “Alexandra” returns home—a lifelike android built from her likeness and memories. She walks, speaks, and even loves like his late wife. To their young son Carter, she seems both familiar and strange, a mother who feels… not quite human.
As J.D. struggles to hold his family together, powerful forces inside the government and Entronysis, the robotics firm he helped build, begin to take interest. The artificial Alexandra—codename Carly 9—may be more than a machine. She may be evolving.
When the line between human and machine blurs, what remains of love, morality, and control?
Robot Mommy is a gripping near-future science fiction thriller exploring loss, obsession, and the price of technological resurrection. For fans of Ex Machina, Black Mirror, and Blade Runner 2049, it’s a haunting journey into the heart of artificial love—and what it truly means to be alive.
