my thoughts while reading this ranged from 🤔 to 😳 to 🫣 and mostly hovered a lot around 🥴 but it was so interesting to consider human-robot relationships and to see them play out in such… normal? ways. i was glad the MMC was a white dude named doug because it made it so easy to utterly despise him, and i never expected i’d feel so much empathy and compassion and even solidarity with an AI bot?! this book gives you so much to think about when it comes to intimacy and autonomy and what it actually means to be human. it was wild and yet also probably likely to happen in our lifetimes…???

i think i’m going ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for the originality and for the way it had me so hooked, evoking in me real uncomfortable feels and questioning all the things! 🧐
