PULSE
A novel by Lorrayne Peri
Some things begin as ideas. Others refuse to leave you alone until you write them.
I wrote PULSE under the name Lorrayne Peri.
Set inside the world of technology and ambition, it's a contemporary romantic suspense novel about the things we build, the people we want and what happens when those two forces become impossible to separate.
At its center is a question I've always found fascinating: what happens when highly rational people encounter something they can't reason their way out of?
The story
Technology has its own language. Speed. Signal. Intelligence. Optimization. Scale.
Then there is the much older language of being human: attraction, fear, power, risk, love.
PULSE lives where those two languages collide.
The author
I use Lorrayne Peri for fiction.
The rest of my work has taken me through engineering, entrepreneurship and artificial intelligence and, today, Female Reserve.
Writing occupies another part of my brain. There are questions you investigate with data. There are systems you can map. And then there are things about ambition, desire and human behavior that become more interesting when you invent people, complicate their lives and see what they do.
PULSE came from that side of me.
Lorrayne Ribeiro — companies, research and ideas.
Lorrayne Peri — fiction.
