A "scientific romance" was the 19th century, Victorian term for what we now think of as science fiction.
In Lincoln 2.0 Russ, along with a tech billionaire, a team of super geeks, and an eccentric crew of political consultants bring Abraham Lincoln back to "life" as an artificial general intelligence (AGI).
19th century scientific romances featured fantastical contraptions transporting characters through time, to the moon, and down to the ocean's depths.
In this 21st century novel the contraption is AI. But, AI that acts as a Time Machine, bringing Abraham Lincoln to a dystopian near-future.
What began as science fiction meets political thriller became a love story - love for all the characters (even the shadowy cabal of villains), and a manifold love story.
