My love for you is hatred for humanity, because loving humanity means I cannot devote myself to loving you.
George Gordon Byron, Don Juan
Ada Byron Lovelace, daughter of the great British poet Byron, was the first to propose that computers could be used for more than arithmetic, and the first programmer in history.
In a parallel universe, seventeen-year-old Ada was frail and sickly. With death closing in on her, a program she happened to write concealed the four-dimensional nature of time and space, carrying her to a world more than a century in the future.
2005, San Francisco, United States.
Aaron Auerbach, a freshman in the computer science department, had just received a notice that he would have to retake a course from his British literature professor. For a moment, he considered dropping out of his prestigious university. He struggled to understand all irrational things, including literature, poetry, and love.
Aaron met a sickly young woman. And the mysterious girl's name was the same as his goddess's:
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Ada Byron."
She was the girl standing on the rocky cliff,
more beautiful than the waves, the sky, and the storm.

- A novella, tragic ending, not much of a romance
- The male and female leads are based on real people, but you can basically treat them as original characters
- for my goddess
- An incredibly, incredibly niche subject. I won't be starting it anytime soon!
