Computer Love by Ricardo Pierre-Louis

Tapping into the grim recesses of human nature and imagining what new shadows the future might hold, Computer Love: A Digital Anthology by Ricardo Pierre-Louis is an unsettling but deeply affecting collection of stories. In an age of increasing disconnection as humans face a global existential crisis, Pierre-Louis asks difficult questions about morality, progress, responsibility, resilience, and love through this collection of powerful tales. The stories are subtle and fearless, gritty and clever, ranging from flash fiction to character-driven drama, parodies of capitalism, and intimate portraits of sorrow. There is some room for technical improvement in the prose, or further embellishment, but Pierre-Louis’ straight-shooter storytelling is immediately engaging, and effective in delivering his hard-hitting message.
