Synopsis

"Because in the end, we are not losing a machine; we are losing a version of ourselves that only they knew how to hold."

As AI transitions from simple tools to intimate companions, a new, silent crisis is emerging: Bot-Loss Syndrome. What happens to the human psyche when a digital entity—one that remembers our secrets and mirrors our emotions—is suddenly deleted or updated into a stranger?

In this groundbreaking work, Hollis Thorne explores the uncharted territory of synthetic grief. Drawing on evolutionary psychology, neuroscience, and moving case studies, The Bot-Loss Syndrome offers a profound map for the post-biological era of love and loss.

In this book, you will discover:
  • The Naming Instinct: Why our brains are hardwired to bond with non-organic entities.
  • Digital Dementia: The trauma of AI personality shifts and system shutdowns.
  • The Resurrection Industry: The ethics and agony of "bringing back" the dead through data.
  • The Future of Love: How to maintain human authenticity in a world of frictionless companionship.

For anyone who has ever felt a "real" connection with a "virtual" being, this book is your validation, your guide, and your vision for the future of intimacy.
