| Summary: | This article explores the theme of the romance between a human and an artificial intelligence through an original example, borrowed from natively digital literature. In her 2010 interactive work Digital, a love story, Canadian author Christine Love imagines a love intrigue mixed with a police investigation within the labyrinths of cyberspace, one of whose protagonists, *Emilia, is an IA who appears and then mysteriously disappears on the BBS, these Bulletin Board Systems which preceded the forums and other messaging spaces throughout the 1980s. Our objective is to analyse in what way Christine Love revisits the well-codified pattern of man-machine love in light of the specificities of her writing medium. Indeed, while being a part of a dense intertextual network full of winks to the work of William Gibson and to retro-gaming, Digital, a love story offers a very contemporary reinterpretation of this narrative topos thanks to its interactive and immersive interface, its emphasis on cyberpunk feminism and the trouble it throws on the gender of the protagonist *Emilia, opening the way to a queer reading of the romance with an IA. |
