Strange and fascinating. The book is written from the perspective of Annie, an AI bot created to bend to her owner/lover/abuser Doug’s every will. Stories of AI developing consciousness are far from new, but the real thing that keeps the pages turning is Annie’s character development. I had a really difficult time putting it down, though the ending felt very abrupt which left me a bit unsatisfied.
