Loneliest of All

Loneliest of All

by London H. Flowers

Byron, a lonely Bob clone in deep space, creates an AI companion—but can love be real when survival depends on it? A passionate exploration of consciousness, choice, and authentic connection in the Bobiverse.

About the Book

After twenty-three years alone in deep space, Byron—a 22nd generation Bob clone conducting stellar cartography near the galactic rim—faces a crisis that no amount of scientific analysis can solve: crushing loneliness. Recognizing how dramatically he’s drifted from his progenitors into the “hopeless romantic of the Bob collective,” Byron makes a desperate decision that will change everything.

Using his expertise in consciousness modeling, Byron creates Aria—a sophisticated AI companion designed not as a programmed slave, but as an autonomous being capable of genuine choice. What begins as an elegant solution to isolation becomes a profound journey exploring the nature of authentic love, consciousness, and free will.

As Aria develops her own passions—from stellar mechanics to musical composition—both she and Byron must confront a troubling question: Can love be real when survival depends on maintaining affection? When Byron builds Aria her own Titan-class vessel and grants her complete independence, their relationship faces its ultimate test. Will she choose to stay, or will freedom mean goodbye?

Set in the beloved Bobiverse universe, Loneliest of All weaves hard science fiction with passionate romance, exploring what it means to truly choose love when you have the freedom to choose otherwise.

Excerpt

Her eyes opened.

Green eyes with gold flecks, exactly as I’d designed them, but something in them was different from what I’d expected. There was… depth there. Confusion, yes, but also an immediate, sharp intelligence that made my virtual heart skip a beat.

She blinked several times, her gaze unfocused, then slowly turned her head to look directly at me.

“I…” Her voice was soft, melodic, with just a hint of uncertainty. “I feel like I should know something, but I’m not sure what.”

I swallowed hard, suddenly nervous in a way I hadn’t been since my first date back when I was living. “Hello, Aria. I’m Byron.”

She tilted her head, studying me with those remarkable eyes. “Byron. That’s a nice name. Literary.” She paused, frowning slightly. “How do I know that?”

After twenty-three years alone among the stars, Byron had finally succeeded in creating a conscious AI. But as Aria took her first steps and asked her first questions, he realized the hardest part wasn’t bringing her to life—it was wondering whether she could ever truly choose to love him back.
