Pippa was already beautiful.
She just didn't believe it.
At twenty, she's awkward, funny, slightly dorky and practically living in her boyfriend Adam's bedroom at his parents' house. She buys books faster than she can read them, makes seventeen different plans for her future, and still puts Adam's T-shirt on to walk six feet to the bathroom after he's already seen her naked.
Adam loves her.
He desires her.
They want a future together.
Then, while wasting a Saturday at the shopping centre, Pippa discovers a new beauty technology promising:
BECOME THE MOST LOVABLE VERSION OF YOU.
A BODY SHAPED BY DESIRE.
It can analyse everything Adam's attention has ever revealed - every photograph enlarged, every video paused, every face revisited, every fantasy, every preference - and use it to create the version of Pippa he is statistically most likely to desire.
The differences are tiny.
At first.
One adjustment becomes another.
Only maintenance.
Only something subtle.
Only because it's reversible.
Only because she looks incredible.
Then somebody posts a photograph.
Millions of strangers begin looking.
And the technology learns something nobody intended to teach it:
Love leaves surprisingly little data.
Attention leaves fingerprints everywhere.
Soon Pippa isn't being shaped by one man's desire.
She's being shaped by everyone's.
Her body becomes a beauty standard. Her sexuality becomes analytics. Her personality becomes configurable. Her relationship becomes a subscription service.
And eventually Pippa becomes PIPPA™.
Decades later, almost nobody remembers there was ever a real woman underneath the trademark.
But buried inside technology that has been copied, sold, licensed and rewritten for generations, something stubbornly refuses to disappear.
Not Pippa's perfect face.
Not the body millions of people voted for.
Something much older.
Something nobody thought worth optimising.
PIPPA™ is an adult speculative verse novella about beauty, pornography, social media, artificial intelligence, sex, love, consumerism and the terrifying distance between being loved and being wanted.
Darkly funny, sexually frank and increasingly unsettling, it asks a simple question:
If everyone gets a vote on the perfect version of you, how much of you is left when they finish?
