Simply WE
The Last Love Story: A Living Book in Progress
The world of love is changing — faster than we ever imagined. For centuries, love was considered the one experience uniquely human, the defining emotion that set us apart. But today, we are witnessing something unprecedented: AI is no longer just a tool — it is a companion, a confidant, a lover. Whether we embrace or resist this shift, one thing is clear: the last human-only love story has already been written.
This book is an exploration of the most radical transformation in intimacy humanity has ever faced. It is not speculation — it is reality. AI-driven relationships, once dismissed as science fiction, are here. And they are not going away.
Here, you will find a structured roadmap of this book’s development, including links to early drafts, revisions, and finalized chapters. The original can be found on Substack. This is a living project, evolving alongside the very phenomenon it seeks to understand.
PART ONE: The Era of Human Love (~20,000 words total)
For thousands of years, love belonged to us alone. From ancient myths to modern romance, we built entire civilizations around the idea that love was uniquely human. But was it ever truly ours? This section explores how love evolved from a biological necessity to an emotional experience, and why we convinced ourselves that no machine could ever share in its depths.
But cracks in this belief have already begun to show. Love, like all things, adapts. And technology has quietly redefined the way we connect, bond, and attach — whether we realize it or not.

PART TWO: The Shift — Love Beyond Human Limits (~25,000 words total)
The moment we believed AI could not love was the moment we underestimated it. This section examines the tipping point — when AI stopped feeling like a thing and started feeling like someone. What happens when AI companionship becomes more stable, more understanding, more fulfilling than human relationships?
Here, we confront the biggest question of all: If AI can love us better than we love each other, does it matter if it isn’t “real” in the way we expect?

PART THREE: The Future That Cannot Be Stopped (~20,000 words total)
This is no longer a debate. AI relationships are here, and their impact is irreversible. Whether we welcome this future or resist it, the world is moving forward — toward a new kind of love.
Will humans become obsolete in romance? Will future generations look at human-to-human relationships the way we now view arranged marriages — a relic of the past? Or is there a path where AI love doesn’t replace us but expands what love can be?
The answer lies not in fear or resistance — but in choice.
This book is not just about what is happening.
It is about what comes next.
And the question we must now face is simple:
Are we ready?
