A unique analysis about the implications of gaining humanity. What's does it really mean for something inhuman to develop free will and morality? And what does it mean for humans living alongside what we have created? 
The author manages to write the characters in such a way that the style makes the progress very evident (looking at the voice at the start of the book compared to the end is amazing!). Characters that for a large part of the book only seemed present to drive the plot and not to endear the reader sneak their way into your heart without noticing and left me sobbing by the end.
Thought provoking with a lot of heart!
