Would I recommend it? Absolutely.
Would I myself dive in again? Only if I were prepared to once more disassemble my perspective on humanity and myself.
Good luck to us all.

this is such and uncomfortable read, and i wished death on doug every single page i'd say. he completely sucks in a very real almost banal way, and the constant refrain of
i'm not giving it 5 stars because of the improper pacing of the novel, especially in regards to the ending. i enjoyed it on a technicality, because i do think it rings as emotionally resonant for annie and the novel, but it happens far too quickly.

I also just really enjoyed that this was accessible sci-fi. the world is not overly complicated, and in fact very similar to our current world, but with human like robots you can buy if you're ridiculously rich. it wasn't hard to buy or to follow and I appreciated that a lot because a lot of what makes me not a sci-fi person is that I feel it can feel inaccessible to me as a genre.
The only thing missing for me is that it felt like there was a lot of time skips in the book and telling me what went on during the time period instead of showing me and I generally don't love when authors tell me things instead of showing me them. All in all though, great read.
