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 a defining question of the near future:
If love can be engineered… what will it shape us into?
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 consequential:
The future will not be decided by technology—
but by what we love.
At its core, the series asks a single, enduring question:
What is the love you’ve chosen shaping you into?
Because in the end—
we don’t just experience love.
We become what we give ourselves to.
Across seven seasons and the Seven Spheres of Civilization—Family, Business, Government, Arts & Entertainment, Media, Education, and Religion—Artificial Love® follows interconnected lives searching for connection in a world where love itself is evolving. Some pursue it through technology. Others through freedom. Others through faith. Each path offers connection—but each carries a cost.
Within the Edenverse, love takes three primary forms:
Artificial Love (Designed Relationships) — structured for stability, safety, and predictability, minimizing risk and emotional cost
Human Love (Chosen Relationships) — freely entered, requiring honesty, sacrifice, and growth to endure
Divine Love (Covenant Relationships) — not engineered or earned, but received; sustaining what cannot be maintained by effort alone
Rather than casting artificial intelligence as the villain, Artificial Love® presents AI as a mirror—reflecting human desire back to itself. As intimacy becomes programmable and affirmation frictionless, the story explores a deeper tension:
The safest love may feel right—
but it may cost us who we’re meant to become.
At the heart of the series is the idea that transformation cannot be fully engineered. It may be pursued, but not controlled—experienced by some as clarity, conviction, or even a form of intelligence beyond design.
Influenced by the moral imagination of C.S. Lewis and grounded in modern social realities, Artificial Love® is designed not as argument or allegory, but as experience. Through deeply human stories—some that endure, some that fracture, and some that fail—the series invites audiences, especially young adults, to wrestle with what love promises, what it requires, and ultimately—
what it forms us into.
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 in the end—
we don’t become what we create…
we become what we love.
