The Future We Chase a novel - Love in the Time of AI

Sinossi

The Future We Chase  By Michael Joe Armijo 
 
In a world where shadows aren’t cast by light but created by control, Michael, a sharp-minded strategist haunted by love and loss, navigates the thin edge between truth and deception. Alongside Ethan, whose fierce loyalty hides a heart as fragile as it is brave, and Sarah, whose intellect is as sharp as her instincts, they uncover Shadow—an incognito AI project capable of predicting human behavior before it happens. 
 
What begins as a mission to expose corruption spirals into a global chase, where encrypted codes, shifting alliances, and unspoken desires intertwine. As Michael’s heart is sewn tightly to Ethan’s, the trio discovers that the real battle isn’t against a system—it’s against the seductive lure of power and the fragility of hope. 
 
From the bustling streets of Paris to the silent corridors beneath cities, The Future We Chase is a gripping tale of love, betrayal, and the fight to reclaim autonomy in an age ruled by invisible forces.  
 
Because the future isn’t something we find. It’s something we create.

Roommate Not Wanted 
 
 
 
I'm a forty-year-old homeowner and former detective. My friends think a roommate is the solution to my recent funk, but I know that's the last thing I need. 
 
 
 
And even if they're right, sharing my home with Cal is a bad idea. The prickly SEAL rescue diver has muscles for miles, haunted eyes, a wounded soul, and wandering feet that won't be happy for long in Safe Harbor. Yet those fathoms-deep blue eyes have me making an offer I'll surely regret. 
 
 
 
Our arrangement may be doomed, but Cal is an amazing roommate. We're soon cooking my mom's favorite recipes, watching terrible TV, accidentally cuddling, and trying not to cross the line from friendship to fling. Until I discover Cal's sexy secret. 
 
 
 
Boundaries blur, and I forget I'm not supposed to fall for Cal. Every kiss, touch, and discovery we make together pulls us deeper until there's no denying our feelings. 
 
 
 
I want nothing more than to keep Cal in town, in my bed, and in my heart, but Cal seems destined to swim back to his solo ways. Can I bear to let him go, or will our love make him stay forever?

Out at the Plate - The Dot...

Lynn Ames

It’s not simply that Dot Wilkinson was one of the most decorated women’s softball players, bowlers, and athletes of all time and one of the original players from the three-time-world-champion PBSW Phoenix Ramblers softball team (1933–1965). Nor was it the length of her time here on Earth—over a century—although any of these things by itself would be impressive. The magic of Dot’s story is in the details. It’s the tale of a childhood spent in poverty, an indomitable, unbreakable spirit, a determination to be the very best to play whatever sport she undertook, the independence to live her personal life on her own terms, and her tremendous success at all of it. Over more than a decade of countless conversations and interviews, Dot shared all of it with her dear friend, author Lynn Ames. Dot held nothing back. Out at the Plate, told through the lens of Dot and Lynn’s friendship, is the story of a forgotten era in women’s history and sports, and one extraordinary woman’s place at the center of it all.

The Set Piece

Catherine Lane

Smart and athletic, Amy Kimball should have it all, but her life's in a tailspin. She's working two menial jobs to make ends meet, barely a paycheck away from financial disaster, and women aren't exactly lining up at her door. 
 
 
 
Enter soccer star Diego Torres, who's keeping a big secret: he's gay. His manager fears that if he's found out, his endorsements and his chance to play for the national team will evaporate into the wind. 
 
 
 
Amy jumps at the chance to act as Diego's fake fiancée, even though it means signing her life away in a non-disclosure agreement. On the surface, the job couldn't be better: the money's great; the living accommodations are luxurious, and she gets to watch her favorite soccer team from the players' box at the stadium. 
 
 
 
But she soon realizes that this new life is even harder to navigate than her old one. Diego's manager is as sleazy as they come, and this easy job soon turns complicated, possibly even dangerous. More important, all the lies Amy is forced to tell are starting to eat away at her soul, especially when she finds herself attracted to Casey Palmer, Diego's pretty assistant. 
 
 
 
Will Amy find the courage to get back into the game?

What You Into?

Joshua Fox

Raw, moving and savagely funny, What You Into? is Josh Fox's autobiographical account of his spiral into the Grindr world of casual sex, hook-ups and dating apps following the break-up of his marriage.

'What you into?'
'I can host if ur looking?'
'What you into?'
'Do you like straight married men?'
'What you into?'
'Wanna meet in the bushes at the park?'

So many messages and not a single one asked how I was – or even asked my name. After a few minutes of bleak scrolling, I realised the only things I'm into are basic manners, commitment and being happily married. Which I also realised I wouldn't be finding on here. Still, that didn't stop me going off to meet the ninth stranger to slide into my inbox after finding myself getting sadder and sadder as each anonymous proposition pinged my way.

He documents this journey diary-style, chronicling the often weird, at times dark world of casual sex as he navigates his grief and anger through the consumption of men - only to discover that he too is being consumed by the process.

Fox's unflinching account of his descent into sex addiction, his struggle with depression and his search for a way back is framed within the broader background of his life. He shares his difficult upbringing in a housing estate in Manchester, and gives a self-critical commentary on his media career (and his complicated relationship with 'celebrity'), from his time as a teenage YouTube star and paparazzo through to his work in Australian radio.

What You Into? is a story of the push and pull of addiction, the power of compulsion over shame, the search for healing through destruction - set against the need for love and the desire to feel alive.
