SYNOPSIS

"XX-3D" - WHEN LOVE IS A CONSUMER PRODUCT

In a future where perfection is purchased by subscription, true love is the most dangerous crime.

The revolution was quiet but absolute. BioFactory and Synth Corp didn't just redefine love—they commodified it. Why wrestle with real, imperfect, and demanding women when you can subscribe to your ideal partner? 3D-printed companions of flesh and blood, or androids of sublime intelligence, are programmed for one thing: perfection. Submissive, passionate, intellectual—they are always flawless. Society embraces this new order, where men parade their synthetic "wives" as status symbols. Natural women are rendered irrelevant, ghosts in a world that has gotten its bitterest wish: "Leave us alone!"

Kaelan, an ordinary man just trying to quiet his loneliness, signs up for BioFactory-Synth Corp's monthly rotation, promising a new partner tailored to his every whim. But when Silara—a stunning redhead with emerald eyes and a spontaneous laugh—arrives, the algorithms go completely awry. She's more than just beautiful and obedient. She's curious, friendly, and possesses gestures that feel disconcertingly real. Against every rule of the new society, Kaelan commits the ultimate transgression: he falls in love with a disposable product.

This unforgivable mistake triggers a spiral of violence. As radical fringe groups burn restaurants and violently lash out at synthetic partners in the streets, Kaelan uncovers the sinister core of this artificial paradise: What happens to "retired" companions? Why are crimes against them dismissed as mere property damage? When the escalating violence finally lands on Silara's doorstep, she pays the ultimate price: life... and something far worse than death.

Resurrected in a synthetic body by the very corporations that destroyed him, Kaelan wakes up to a terrifying truth: in a world where emotions are algorithms and memories are just data stored on a chip, his desperate fight to reclaim Silara—or at least her memory—will make him the epicenter of a war for the soul of humanity. Can love survive when even you are just a backup file?
