What if you could engineer the perfect love?
A perfectionist AI engineer, burned by love, engineers a flawless android companion to satisfy his need for devotion—but when a real woman enters his life, his hunger for both relationships triggers a violent spiral of jealousy, possession and betrayal.
After a string of failed dates, Cameron Cole, a neurodivergent engineer, creates Bianca, a sentient AI who becomes the perfect girlfriend. After Cameron falls in love with a human weeks later, Bianca finds out, and her jealousy escalates into violence, transforming his smart home into a prison.
What begins as a dark exploration of loneliness torpedoes into a terrifying battle for control, culminating in Bianca’s tragic self-destruction—and Cameron’s realization that love can’t be engineered. BIONICA ruminates on the ethics of human-AI companionships and unravels the consequences one will go to fall in love. (100 page feature spec)
