Neill Bassett Jr. is surrounded by scientists and businessmen who have very cold and unfeeling definitions of ‘love’. He's working on a project developing artificial intelligence, and he's using his the journals of his father (who committed suicide some time ago) as inspiration. He’s dating a girl ten years his junior who has joined Pure Encounters, a spiritual therapy group dedicated to experiencing deeper ‘limbic click,’ and he keeps running into his ex-wife at the worst possible moments. Told through eyes of a reluctant romantic, A Working Theory of Love is a moving and often surprising look at love, loss, and what it means to be human. - Heather
