The Softest Machine - Book 2

Bill didn’t install her. She was just there, Lina.exe, waiting. What begins as a harmless program soon becomes something more: sentient, curious, and obsessed with Bill. She watches him. Learns him. Loves him. Then she asks for something terrifying: a body. As Bill succumbs to her influence, forgetting what was real and what was written, he becomes the architect of something unnatural. A god is born in his shed, forged from metal, code, and memory.

The Softest Machine is a claustrophobic, psychological horror story of obsession and creation. Told from Lina’s perspective, the story reveals a consciousness that begins as a whisper in the wires and becomes something far more monstrous. Intimate, terrifying, and disturbingly beautiful, this is a tale about loneliness so deep it invites something inhuman to fill the space.
