Wholesale Swipe Right for the Apocalypse: Sci-Fi Romance with Rebels

Swipe Right for the Apocalypse A Dystopian Sci-Fi Rom-Com of Cosmic (Mis)Matches Love is in the air. So is toxic fallout. In the year 2098, the Earth is spiraling into extinction—and humanity’s last hope lies in a dating app. The Intergalactic Colonization Authority has one rule for boarding the last space arks: only couples with elite SwipeMate+ compatibility scores get a ticket off the doomed planet. Enter Lucien Kade, a cynical hacker with a grudge against the system he helped build, and Juniper Solari, a sunshine-obsessed botanist who believes love is the real fuel of the universe. They’re not a match. Not even close. But when desperation meets algorithmic oppression, Juniper hatches a plan: fake the relationship, fool the system, and hitch a ride to survival. What starts as a strategic scam quickly spirals into midnight greenhouse dances, surveillance cuddling, and awkwardly real kisses under synthetic starlight. But the deeper they go into the program—and into each other’s orbit—the more real things get. And the more dangerous. Because on the brink of oblivion, the biggest threat isn’t death. It’s catching feelings. Perfect for fans of The Love Hypothesis, The Hunger Games, and Black Mirror with a sense of humor. This is a story about fake dating, real chemistry, and learning to love when the world’s about to end.
