The novel tells the story of the love between sculptor Dorothee Russo and PR entrepreneur Niklas Still, who finds himself threatened by poverty almost out of nowhere due to his financial troubles. My Virtual Lover also explores the power of money, which can neither save a relationship nor can it destroy every love. The book navigates the realms of spirituality, nature, psychology, and art. Readers encounter the ideas of spiritual teachers, philosophers, composers, directors, and artists, all of whom prove to be significant influences in Still's life. The story includes a draft of a screenplay for a television film.
