The Shared Pulse, (Paperback)

In a world where love has become an optimization problem, chaos is the only path to connection.

The Shared Pulse is a contemporary novel set in Istanbul between systems that promise certainty and relationships that resist being solved. Alev lives by the algorithm of her AI life coach. Toprak manipulates his compatibility score on a dating app designed to predict desire. As their lives intersect, the story asks what happens when intimacy is measured, tracked, and optimized-and what it costs to stay present inside that logic.

Can love survive when it is treated as an 'optimization problem'?

This is a journey through the 'glitches' of the heart-a reminder that love is not a noun, but a verb.
