En esta novela, Klara, una suerte de inteligencia artificial/robot diseñada para acompañar adolescencias, se conforma cono una voz destacable y original. A través de ella, conocemos este universo ¿distópico? ¿futuro? pero, a su vez, conocemos y revisitamos lo humano, como si fuese la primera vez.
Ishiguro usa -maravillosamente- la ciencia ficción/ficción especulativa para plantear preguntas sobre la ética, la tecnología y las clases sociales pero, principalmente, para articular sobre lo humano, el amor y sus límites, medidas y complejidades inherentes.
La premisa es super interesante y la escritura fluída y, aunque a veces con un ritmo un poco lento y dejando bastante lugar al lector para elaborar algunos puntos del final, Klara y el Sol cumple.
Recomiendo para todxs mis amigxs amantes de las distopías y con mundos internos con predilección por las discusiones sobre el amor, el dolor y la ética.
Espero volver a cruzarme a este autor pronto y, especialmente, a sus trabajos de ciencia ficción.

Lots of things are subject to interpretation and I found the style a bit complicated.
Also it’s a bit of a dystopian world, which I am not a fan of, and the global tone was pretty sad in my opinion.
The themes are interesting and there is some reflection to have, but I was not convinced by the point of the whole story.
I found the plot pretty weak too.
Not a bad book, but I would’t read it again nor recommend it.
