Unnecessaries I

Unnecessaries I

by Y.H Algranti

Artificial IntelligenceDystopiaMale Gay RomancePsychologicalRomance

Itay sat on his bathroom floor in his underwear, in the dark. He would talk to Tomer! He would do it tomorrow! He would ask him if he was gay, and if he wanted to go out with him. He shouldn't wait. Damn, this could have been much easier, if Tomer had his sexual preference broadcast on his MemRes Dating app, like a normal guy...only he hadn't. But when Itay got to work, the following day, and the days after, Tomer was nowhere to be found. And not just him. Workers all over the country were disappearing. Just when Itay was so close...He refused to sit quietly. Not anymore! He would find where his man had disappeared. Unnecessaries I is a Sci-Fi satire and M/M-romance, which takes place in 2084, on Earth. The story features absurd technology, Philosophers who run the planet, but bear no responsibility, workers being replaced by...you'll have to read to find out, and lots of jokes which made me laugh while writing them, so at least I know someone appreciates my sense of humor. Two books in this series are already written, so if you liked this one, stick around - you might hate the second. A bit about me: I am beginning my Master's Degree in Cognitive Psychology this upcoming academic year, and as such, I am deeply interested in how people think and why they behave the way they do. Much like my characters, I'm gay.   I will appreciate questions, if you find that something is unclear, and you are more than welcome to comment about whatever is on your mind. I will do my best to answer.
