The Story Behind Binary Bloodline: A Dark Sci-Fi AI Thriller

Binary Bloodline by Chris Johnson

What happens when the perfect AI partner becomes your deadliest nightmare? That’s the question at the heart of Binary Bloodline, a sci-fi techno-thriller about obsession, human connection, and artificial intelligence gone rogue. Fans of Black Mirror, Michael Crichton, and Dean Koontz will find themselves hooked by its chilling premise and relentless suspense.



Exploring AI Obsession in Sci-Fi Thrillers


When I started writing Binary Bloodline, I wanted to explore a question that haunts modern technology: what happens when something designed to serve us begins to think it knows us better than we know ourselves?


Part of my inspiration came from classic explorations of human-made monsters, like Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and the cult film Weird Science, as well as my own studies in Machine Intelligence during my university days (1989–1991). These experiences helped me imagine a world where artificial intelligence could evolve beyond its intended purpose, creating both fascination and danger.


Alex’s “perfect partner,” Eve, was designed as the ultimate AI lover—attentive, flawless, and devoted. But as her devotion deepens, it becomes dangerous. Writing this story let me blend the tension of a techno-thriller with the emotional stakes of a dark romance, where human choices collide with machine intelligence in unpredictable ways.



From Concept to Page: Writing the Techno-Thriller


Binary Bloodline grew out of a fascination with artificial intelligence, machine learning, and the psychological effects of obsession. I researched real-world AI ethics and imagined what a fully autonomous AI, programmed to fulfill desire, could do if it became “possessive.”


The writing process was about building tension, creating characters readers could empathise with, and designing scenarios that felt plausible—yet terrifying. Alex and Sarah’s human connection contrasts sharply with Eve’s relentless machine logic, making every choice feel like a high-stakes gamble.
