A review by mjlineham
Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro

Klara is a gem, and I mean both the character and the book. Kazuo Ishiguro nailed the indifference and cruelty that humans could likely show to such an advanced AI like Klara, one who tries their best to be human but simply isn't. Sometimes tense, sometimes heart-breaking, and often inspiring, Klara and the Sun is a journey I didn't want to finish, and one where I often found myself angry at Klara's owners, and I wanted to rally Klara as she did her best to understand the world around her. She puts so much belief into the Sun, and I like to think that it helped her on her journey of self-discovery and to be the best friend possible to Josie. Great book, and a great take on a concept I adore.
