I wanted to punch almost every male character in this book…which is kind of the point.

For how many books Annie Bot winds up reading, I really wish she had picked up gone girl or something. Like girl just kill him. 
Not what I wanted the story to be about, and lots of loose ends. Lots of “what ever happened with that” and “why wasn’t that pursued narratively” moments. Hard not to compare it to ex machina imo and ex machina does a lot of the themes in a more interesting way.

Doug is a misogynistic, racist, manipulative POS and I wanted to throw this book across the room I hated the character so much. I felt so much pain for Annie.

If you liked the first season of Westworld you’ll enjoy this.

What a roller coaster of a book, some things I would’ve fleshed out more (maybe more Annie w/ the techs?) but enjoyable and really made me think. 

Eerie to think this is the future we’re heading to, and seeing how people treat other human beings I can’t imagine how they’ll treat AI robots.

The premise had me interested, but it didn’t really go anywhere. Most of the book was unbearable interactions with a misogynistic man, and a robot-woman who doesn’t have any other choice but to talk and do much more with him. I was hoping for a twisted (maybe vengeful) ending, especially since the rest of the story is already pretty dark.

Ex Machina meets Barbie - asks really interesting questions (sometimes in really brutal ways) about the ethics of AI/human relationships.
