Klara and the Sun was recommended to me by someone after I told them I read Murakami. This was a light, quick read that was really enjoyable and had just enough depth to make you think. It focuses a lot on the idea of loneliness and what people do to avoid it, but also what it even means to be a person. What I liked the most was that there was a good balance of world building around the concept of humanoid robots and character development. It’s a short book so it didn’t go very deep, but it gave just enough to keep me invested. Will definitely recommend to friends.
