LoveStar by Andri Snær Magnason is a weird and wacky Sci-Fi novel translated from Icelandic by Victoria Cribb.
The book follows a couple, Indri and Sigrid, who love each other desperately until they are calculated apart by an algorithm (think Tinder but without free will), as well as the enigmatic LoveStar (CEO of LoveStar) as he searches for answers after commercializing literally everything in human existence (well there about anyways).
LoveStar is set in an impossibly modern and rather dystopian world of tech and rampant capitalism; think Black Mirror meets 1984, Brave New World by way of the works of Douglas Adams and Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.
