This book explores the romantic relationship between a man, Doug, and his Annie, a robot that he specified the design on.

very unhealthy relationship between Doug and Annie. Also, at one point, Doug locks Annie in a closet for several weeks.

4.0

A thoroughly thought-provoking book about autonomy, domestic partner abuse, consent, growth, and feminism. It was not a fun book to read, but I’m glad I did. The one thing that bothers me is that a rape scene is never called rape, even later, as the characters unpack the events.

I could not put this book down. A fierce examination of bodily autonomy, relationship dynamics and artificial intelligence. I was furious on behalf of Annie and this book moved me more than anything I have read in recent memory.

I am speechless after finishing Annie Bot. This is my first 5 star read of the year and WOW I know I made the right choice waiting to give out this rating because this blew the other books I’ve read out of the park. At first this is West World meets Barbie but it goes so much deeper. It ends as a beautiful but devastatingly honest portrait of womanhood and the shackles of the patriarchy. Be sure to check trigger warnings but otherwise this is a must read.
