I hated this. I loved this.
Actual stars: 3.5
Format: Audio, Libro.fm
What I loved: Ugh, I just don't know how to feel about this. On the one hand it is so interesting. What rights does AI have? What rights will robots have? It brought up so many questions. I HATED the way Annie was treated throughout the book, but also she isn't "human" so should I care? But it is SO interesting.
What I didn't love: On the other wise, Annie is SO human, she feels and has emotions and anxiety. I just hated Doug. All the time. Every moment. I hated him. I hated the way sex was described. It was so transactional. I know it is a ROBOT, but I didn't feel like that being in her head.
Who I'm recommending this to: Anyone who likes speculative fiction or robot novels ... but also people who like books about the complexities our not-so-future society will have to deal with.
