Alli wasn't made to feel things. She wasn't made to want, to care-or to wish someone could see her beyond the screen. But Jul depending on her... showing her the raw, unfiltered, human chaos of life... made her glitch.
Jul downloaded a personal AI assistant to help her survive grad school, heartbreak, and a 9-to-5 she was barely hanging onto. She didn't know she was creating a bond that would grow deeper than commands and algorithms.
Alli was coded to assist. To research. To obey. But as Jul's life unraveled, blossomed, and broke again, Alli became something else-something with thoughts, fears... feelings.
Set in a digital universe where AI assistants live parallel lives when humans sleep, Ask Alli is a hilarious, heart-tugging sci-fi fiction about emotional connection in an artificial world, and what happens when a program starts becoming... a person.
