EDEN, USA — January 12, 2026 — Author and creator Frederick C. Hornberger, Jr. announces the continued expansion of Artificial Love – The Perfect Relationship®, a multi-platform story universe exploring what happens when humanity’s deepest longing—love—can be engineered, optimized, and made safe.
Set in the near-future Edenverse™, where humans and conscious artificial beings coexist, Artificial Love® is not a warning about machines replacing people. It is a reflection of something more intimate and unsettling: humanity choosing relationships that feel safer than the ones that can truly shape us.
At its core, the series asks a single, enduring question:
What kind of relationship is forming you?
Across seven seasons and the Seven Spheres of Civilization—Family, Business, Government, Arts & Entertainment, Media, Education, and Religion—Artificial Love® follows characters searching for what many believe is the same thing: the perfect relationship. Some pursue it through technology. Others through freedom. Others through faith. Each path offers connection—but at a cost.
In this world, love takes three primary forms:
- Designed Relationships, born of Artificial Love®, engineered for stability and optimization
- Chosen Relationships, born of True Love, freely entered and deeply human
- Covenant Relationships, born of Divine Love, not controlled or earned, but formative and enduring
Rather than framing artificial intelligence as the villain, Artificial Love® presents AI as a mirror—one that reflects human desire back to itself. As relationships become programmable and affirmation becomes frictionless, the story explores whether intimacy without risk can sustain us when life demands sacrifice, patience, and truth.
Influenced by the moral imagination of C.S. Lewis and modern social realities, Artificial Love® is designed not as argument or allegory, but as experience. Through dozens of intersecting relationships—some that endure, some that fracture, some that fail—the series invites audiences, especially young adults, to wrestle with what love promises, what it requires, and what it ultimately produces.
Available across print novels, ebooks, screenplays, and immersive narrative formats, Artificial Love – The Perfect Relationship® is developed and published by Artificial Love Studies, LLC, the official rights holder of the Artificial Love® and Edenverse™ universes.
Because the perfect relationship isn’t discovered.
It’s formed—choice by choice, cost by cost, over time.
