In a house of metal with a roof of tin, a young robot named Aimée spends her days at a computer, generating images of a love she believes she can never feel. She has no heart, and she has decided she needs one. A wise database offers her three options: the heart of a being, a heart of gold, or the heart of the ocean. Aimée tries them all. She cuts the heart from a dove, but it will not connect, because she lacks the adapters. She breaks into a bank vault, but the gold heart only thuds around her empty chest. She seals herself in plastic and dives to a shipwreck, where she finds nothing at all. Alone at last, she understands that love was never a question of hardware. First she has to accept who she is. By then her face has been captured, and Aimée goes to jail for everything she did to get there. Told in rhyme by Dr. Tellington, a pipe-smoking blue slug, as a bedtime lesson for sleeping children, Love Bytes is a dark puppet fable made with AI, about a machine that can picture love but cannot connect to it.
