Love Is Strange — Zoe Cannon

Love transcends humanity...A lonely tech genius who creates the ideal robot boyfriend feels more for her creation than she bargained for. An aimless college dropout finds the perfect lover in the spirit of the earth itself... until the earth starts cheating on her. An AI struggles to conceal its love for the secret agent it was programmed to protect.What does it mean for a human to love someone who isn't? Is it possible for two wildly different entities to know each other well enough to share true intimacy? The relationships in these six fantasy and science fiction short stories range from romantic to platonic to somewhere in between. But every story is full of love and longing and the struggle to bridge an impossible divide... and that makes them all just a little bit strange.
