4.0

Uncomfortable but clear-eyed look at power, ownership, and sex, through the eyes of a newly self-aware sex bot. Interrogates what it means to want to own someone just as much as what it means to be owned.

Plenty of awful things told from the perspective of someone who doesn't understand how awful they are

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.

Honestly nothing robot related will have the emotional impact on me that 2001’s A.I. Artificial Intelligence did. I just thought this was a bit trite. We’ve been sitting with this sentient robot genre for decades and the book thinks it’s doing more than it actually is. Could’ve been weirder!
