is the first time they almost had the chance to see eachother directly

The girl has traveled, works a low paying probably monotonous job, and doesn't have to worry about aging. She's so relatable for women. In her hundred years she's done a lot but definitely not as much as the guy in maybe 28. She's learned to be perceptive and learned many different languages in her travels. But she's emotional and flakes on men without a thought to reason. She left William because she was afraid of being captured for experimentation but it wasn't like William was going to tell anyone, and the scientific community is a little bit more level headed than that. I understand she's afraid of the government capturing her and locking her up in a bright room for experimentation, but that's not always the case for women.

The guy is a handyman (installing his own wiring and shit in his home) is wealthy but not greedy (made an algorithm that his friend used to make a ton of money on the stocks), has a huge advanced suite, has a lot of facial hair(looks older than her) and is tall and handsome, doesn't have to work, is intelligent (math major), in a small Oregon city, is a philanthropist (sits on multiple boards including a library one, a historic preservation board, and a fucking rainforest preservation board). His only flaw if you can call it that, is he doesn't talk about how versed he is as a traveler.

Someone else commented on this, but yeah, Elis is creepy as fuck. If it were some fat unattractive guy who left his girlfriend at New Years(and lied about it) to walk an attractive girl at a party to her Taxi, people would be yelling for a restraining order. Or sexual harassment. He went to her place of work and basically forced her to go out with him. And then left several calls before finding out where she lived and going to her there when she faded on him (although again in this case because her dog passed away so in the context of the story it's excusable). 99.9% of guys won't put that much effort into a girl they just saw just because she's attractive.

It creates the social paradigm where guys have to be self made princes. And teaches girls that by smiling and looking pretty you can get a self made millionaire to fall in love with you and chase you to the ends of the Earth. And acts of God like lightning and comets and asteroids hitting the moon will allow you to be with your one true soulmate.

You can design all the fancy AI that you want and try and get it to do whatever you want but as soon as you introduce a human into a system it becomes chaotic and uncontrolled. In this way its examining the relationship between humans and AI, but not the 'relationship' ala Her.

It was mostly consistent in its universe and i especially enjoyed the water planet with its tidal forces.
The whole flying near and into a blackhole was of course pure fiction.
