In some ways similar to spike jones more recent movie "her"where a guy falls for his os in a digital sense.
Nicholson baker wrote "mezzanine" an app 130 pp novel. About an office workers 30 second ride up an escalator to the mezzanine level of his office building. Novels such as these are what cements Baker's reputation as the master of minutae.

Nicholson Effect 

The feeling of unspecified love when a person is outside their everyday living environment (City/Town/Village). Usually confused with sexual urges. Often leads to people cheating while away from their families. On the other hand it can bring romantic partners closer to each other. Or it can just manifest as a deeper appreciation for a different city.
It wasn't the Nicholson effect that conditioned me to fall in love with that person while on vacation. It was the person themselves.
