Romantic storylines now feature “Pod Auditions,” “Jealousy Coordinators” (a certified therapist who sits in on difficult conversations), and “Emotional Rosters”—shared calendars where you book intimacy time like meeting rooms.

The romantic storyline of 2060 will likely involve the first legal marriage between a human and a non-corporeal collective intelligence (a hive mind). The plot will hinge on a simple, eternal question: Can a being that remembers everything truly forgive?
