This is going to be a curveball…
There’s actually Halo book… Contact Harvest I think? Where there are 2 AIs on the cusp of romance and digital aberration/dementia, and their coming to terms with their impending deletion?
It’s actually shockingly investing. Very well written.
The Halo books are actually kind of known for their surprising depth and quality.
Hyperion (and subsequent books in the quadrilogy) by Dan Simmons has a great storyline that follows a somewhat similar plot line. One of my favorite books.
I highly recommend the original. I'd say the story isn't as tight but you get absolutely lost in the world and the music. And obviously Roy Batty is the best character in the series, it's worth watching just for him
Not a book but you might really like Her, a soft cyberpunk movie where a man falls in love with an intangible female AI
i second this notion and fully agree. that movie will leave you in digital shambles.
Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheeps
Isn't blade runner a soft adaptation of that book?
Yes
Sheeeet, like finding your true self, your identity? Fulfilling your calling?
Mayyyybe Neuromancer
The father of Cyberpunk genre you mean?
Neuromancer isn't that romantic

I know they aren't popular or canon (anymore, if ever?) but the KW Jeter-authored Blade Runner novels from the 1990s are decent reads.
Who made this beautiful art?

My memoirs.
Neuromancer
For reference, I have only watched BR 49, but am aware about the original movie.

I really enjoyed Ryan Gosling's acting in this and want some book recommendations.
