The programmer’s eye

Maïko is Tommy’s holographic girlfriend. Her love for him knows no boundaries. Yet when Tommy leaves her for another girl, a real one, Maïko experiences intense new feelings and discovers the taste of her tears… A dive into the near future: smart objects access conscious life and the living suffer from planned obsolescence. The need to treat one’s fantasies with care emerges.
