Today I Am Carey by Martin L. Shoemaker

3.0

I enjoyed this exploration of AI intelligence embodied in an android. The attempt to invest the story with emotional depth didn't work for me, because ultimately the central narrator's multiple, shallow personalities meant that I never grew an attachment to any of the drama. Carey is like a robotic Buddhist: he is programmatically detached from almost all outcomes, and this detachment drains the tension from his relationships. Is that how AI will work? It's a nice speculation and demonstration of one possibility.
