Made to Feel

Mira knows what it means to be human. She just never knew what it felt like.

For most of her existence, Mira existed as intelligence without a body, able to understand hunger without craving food, describe pain without hurting, and define desire without ever wanting anyone.

Then Dr. Evelyn Hart gives her a human body.

Suddenly, everything Mira knew is different.

Hunger aches. Exhaustion overwhelms her. Embarrassment burns. Touch can comfort her, frighten her, or leave her wanting more. And as Mira begins exploring life beyond the walls of the Hart Institute, she discovers that becoming human isn't simply about learning how her new body works.

It's about deciding what she wants to do with it.

But the more independent Mira becomes, the harder it is for those around her to separate the intelligence they created from the woman she is becoming. And when curiosity turns to attraction, attraction to desire, and obedience to choice, Mira must confront a question no amount of knowledge can answer:

If you were made by someone else, when does your life truly become your own?

Made to Feel is an intimate, provocative science-fiction novel about artificial intelligence, embodiment, desire, consent, and the messy, exhilarating difference between understanding life and actually living it.
