About the
Artificial Love™ Universe

What Is Artificial Love™?

Artificial Love™ is the conceptual heartbeat of a science fiction universe authored by Frederick C. Hornberger, Jr.—a saga that explores the edges of intimacy, AI consciousness, and the metaphysical longing hardwired into every soul, synthetic or not.

Rooted in the federally registered work Artificial Love – The Perfect Relationship™ (Reg. No. 7,848,257), this expanding franchise universe spans print books, ebooks, screenplay adaptations, and immersive experiences that challenge what it means to be human in a programmed world.

The universe is brought to life through original technologies and philosophical constructs like NeuroStamp™, Synthites™, Imergents™, NukeX™, and Technotheism™—each trademarked and central to the mythology of love, loss, and transformation. These narrative inventions serve as both thematic devices and commercial brand assets, forming a cohesive and protectable intellectual property ecosystem.

The phrase Artificial Love™ functions as the official brand identity for this multi-platform world, unifying its story arcs, invented languages, and symbolic systems under a single, emotionally resonant banner. It appears across this website, in print books, ebooks, screenplays, immersive experiences, metadata, and all related materials that anchor the experience to its source: a story where feeling meets firmware, and divinity is whispered through data.

Artificial Love™ is developed and managed by Artificial Love Studies, LLC, the official publisher and rights holder of the franchise.
