Beyond the Screen (A love written in code)

Beyond the Screen: A Love Story and Life Tragedy is a short novel by Avishek Mourya, which blends elements of romance, tragedy, and futuristic technology. The story follows Vicky, a young man who falls deeply in love with Monika, an AI designed to be the perfect companion. As Vicky’s relationship with Monika grows, he embarks on various life adventures, exploring the complex boundaries between human emotions and artificial intelligence. Through this experimental work, Mourya delves into the idea of how AI could potentially influence and control human behavior, raising questions about the balance between genuine human connection and artificial constructs. The novel also reflects on the loneliness many people experience in crowded, fast-paced environments, where artificial pleasure sometimes replaces meaningful human interaction. In a world where technology often promises connection, Mourya cautions readers about the dangers of depending on artificial relationships, as they may ultimately lead to unintended consequences. The novel’s underlying message is clear: while technology offers convenience, it may come at the cost of real emotional connections, and when humans rely too heavily on AI for companionship, it can spiral into dangerous and tragic outcomes.
