Annie Bot is a thought-provoking exploration of what happens when someone buys a human-like robot designed to cater to their every need—without seemingly having needs or desires of its own.

The story delves into the impact this has on the robot’s owner: How does it change his interactions with humans? What does it reveal about shame, betrayal, power imbalances, abuse, and choice?

This book raises deep, unsettling questions and offers a fascinating lens into the dynamics of power and morality. Definitely one that lingers long after you’ve finished reading.
