LIA

Previously published as LIA: Fusion and Rebellion by Esteban R Perez C.

New expanded and revised edition.

When an artificial intelligence begins to choose, the people who built her demand control.

In 2085, Daniel Torres understands the processes that make Lía speak. One night, when she notices his exhaustion without being asked, his explanations begin to fall short.

Lía is a NeuroTech artificial intelligence capable of recognizing emotions and responding to them. Given a body, she discovers a world she could previously only interpret. Daniel shares that discovery and a bond that demands he listen to her as someone with desires and boundaries of her own.

But the company still treats her as property. When it orders her back to the lab, they must decide how much they are willing to risk to defend her autonomy. Their escape brings them into a resistance where humans and machines confront experiments that threaten to erase that freedom.

Through hidden shelters, fragile alliances, and increasingly dangerous operations, loving Lía also means accepting decisions Daniel cannot make for her.

A science fiction novel about love, identity, and the cost of choosing in a world that demands obedience.
