The love story between us human beings and the non-existent, absent and perfect beings created by our minds is an ancient story, made of sighs, which takes on new tones as we move from writing to 3D modelling and from printed books to social media. In the very same months in which Liu Cixin was writing The Dark Forest, another ideal girl was born in Japan, who would revolutionize the history of transmedia marketing, surpassing the expectations of her own creators and becoming a sort of collective dream or participatory design of a virtual idol: Hatsune Miku.

Like the AI in the film Her (2013), another imagined soulmate, Hatsune Miku’s disturbing story is the story of a mascot that comes to life, making a huge evolutionary leap the moment it comes into contact with the internet.
