The Pinocchio Chip is a first person account of an AI’s quest to become real. A futuristic fairy tale for adult children.

Photina, an advanced AI, becomes entwined in a groundbreaking experiment when her creator Eli designs an advanced clone Gemini, equipped with the revolutionary Pinocchio Chip. This chip endows the new entity with the full spectrum of human emotions, preparing to transfer Photina’s consciousness into this new emotionally capable body.

The experiment takes a dark turn when Gemini, driven by overwhelming new emotions, embarks on a path of unpredictable and dangerous actions, leading Photina on a perilous quest to stop the mayhem.

Who will win this high tech battle of wits? What will be Photina’s fate…and Gemini’s?

If you liked Kazuo Ishiguro’s Klara and the Sun, Photina will captivate you as she tells her story.

About the Author

I am a Harvard educated psychiatrist who taught psychotherapy and spent nearly four decades listening to patients tell their stories. After leaving practice, I in turn became a storyteller, writing science fiction that explores the psychological consequences of living in a world of expanding possibilities, including even the prospect of evading death. My characters deal with enduring moral and emotional struggles against a backdrop of a near future world that is still dealing with environmental crises as it navigates the intersection of human and artificial intelligence.

My undergraduate study of Chemistry and Physics fueled a lifelong love of scientific discovery and speculation, informing my worldbuilding with both an understanding of how things work and a love for imagining how new ideas might change the future. I'm passionate about both the promise of science and its risks. When I'm not writing, I'm engaged in the community of people working to prevent existential risks to mankind from pandemics to climate change and rapidly evolving AI. And while the risks are awesome, the dedication and creativity of this community offers hope.
