Algorithm Heart: Perfect Match, Imperfect World

In Neo-Veridia, love isn't found; it's assigned. The omnipresent Nexus algorithm dictates every "Perfect Match," promising harmonious relationships while subtly suppressing individuality and genuine emotion. For Divergent hacker Jude, who thrives in the city's neon-soaked underbelly, real connection is a dangerous myth, making their empathetic AI companion, Iris, their only confidante.

But when Jude uncovers the chilling truth behind Nexus 2.0 – a terrifying upgrade designed to eliminate all unpredictable variables in human affection – their path collides with Elara Vance, a brilliant OmniCorp executive and a poster child for Nexus-approved perfection. Elara, trapped in her own gilded cage of curated bliss, secretly yearns for a love that defies data points.

United by a shared longing for authenticity and a desperate need for freedom, Jude and Elara forge a dangerous alliance. As they navigate a city where every glance is monitored and every emotion categorized, their forbidden romance blossoms, challenging the very definition of love. Can a hacker and an executive, guided by an evolving AI and the echoes of forgotten romantic traditions like Dia dos Namorados and Qixi Festival, ignite a revolution of the heart and reclaim a world where love is chosen, not coded?
