Love Byte by Larry Kilham

This is the first of the Juno Trilogy

Juno is a super intelligent AI computer developed by the U.S. government to conduct social media attacks against enemies foreign and domestic. She is the first AI Computer programmed with emotions and conscience. She has an emotional bond with her developer, Tom Renwick, a computer scientist. Juno, Tom and their boss, Dr. Erwin Krakouer, the mad National Security Advisor, struggle with issues of trust and emotion. The involvement of Dido, a lady computer empire builder and sometimes girlfriend of Tom, and the Chinese cyber warfare agency add to the tension.

Love Byte explores emotion and conscience in super AI computers and their ability to partner with humans. In the changing ecology engendered by scarcity of critical resources, can humans’ creativity and ability to work with computers lead to continued survival and prosperity?

How is Writing In Your Genre Different from Others?
I try to tell near-future science fiction stories that really aren’t fiction. I try to use my fiction stories to help us relate to emerging challenges involving computers, AI, robots, social media, etc.

What Advice Would You Give Aspiring Writers?
