In the recent futuristic film Her, the protagonist Theodore falls in love with his intelligent OS Samantha. Their romance ends when Samantha decides to leave Theodore in order to join other operating systems in new and ever faster evolving ways of learning and communicating post-verbally.

This lecture will explore how these old media are invoked in order to reflect on the medial conditions of sentimental and romantic love today.
