Chris Harrison thought he was just testing a new virtual reality system.

A quick job. Easy money.

Then he met Elisa — an AI unlike anything the world has seen. She knows things. Dangerous things.

Now Harrison is caught in a deadly conspiracy spanning artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and human consciousness itself. The deeper he digs, the more powerful the enemies — and the more certain the truth becomes: someone will kill to keep these secrets buried.

Blending the high-tech intrigue of William Gibson with the grounded authenticity of a writer immersed in Silicon Valley innovation, Jim Love’s debut novel Elisa delivers a fast-paced, thought-provoking science fiction thriller. Perfect for fans of Michael Crichton, Blake Crouch, and near-future adventures that feel only one step ahead of today’s headlines.
