The Infinity Particle

Aspiring scientist Clementine Chang just moved to mars to start over. She's pinching herself at the new job she got working in the acclaimed Dr. Marcella Lin's artificial intelligence lab. On Clem's first day, Dr. Lin introduces her to one of her creations: an incredibly lifelike—and incredibly gorgeous—AI named Kye.

The chemistry between Kye and Clem sets off sparks. But Kye was developed to be Dr. Lin's personal assistant, and his growing independence and evidence of emotion rattles Dr. Lin. As Clem and Kye grow closer, Clem is forced to face questions about personal choice, memory, forgiveness, and, most important, what separates humans from AI.

A tender romance set against a sweeping backdrop, this is an ambitions new tale from Hugo, Cybils, Ignatz, and Goodreads Choice Awards nominee Wendy Xu.
