Book follows several female perspectives set in the not too distant future. AI is a part of our everyday world. You can use an AI that you speak to in your head that also talks back and keeps all of your memories and emotions. It is available to middle class people. Anna lost her son Alex ten months ago as he walked off of a cliff, and his friend Sam was there. Her conscious AI wants to separate from her.
I love a good dystopian book that explores themes of AI and other things threatening our existence.
<b>The good</b>
The book is a very quick read
Female centered perspectives
Allows the reader to ask questions of themselves and our planet
Very interesting world building- when Anna decides to drive her car for the first time in 10 years she is terrified, cuts across 3 lanes to find her exit, and the other self-driving cars seamlessly move out of the way. What an image. There are others like this also.
Good characterization and dialogue
<b>The bad</b>
To be totally honest I don't even understand what happened at the end, which was a bummer, because I was invested in this mystery of how and why Alex died.
Lack of a cohesive plot
