A mother's desperate attempt to save her lonely son leads to an unthinkable deception -- and a chilling tragedy.

LynnAnn Duft would do anything to see her son smile again. When a revolutionary new service called Bae-i promises to rekindle hope by reuniting the lonely with their long-lost loves -- through the magic of A.I. -- she signs up without hesitation.

At first it works: Howie is happier than she's seen him in years. But as the illusion deepens, so does Howie's obsession. And by the time LynnAnn realizes the truth, it's far too late to turn back.

A razor-sharp, darkly funny exploration of loneliness, obsession, and the price of technological wish fulfillment, BAE-I is bestselling author Douglas Corleone at his most haunting and unforgettable.

Perfect for fans of Black Mirror, Severance, Ex Machina, Her, and speculative fiction that cuts deep.
