I’m as fascinated by technology as I am terrified, especially with AI, so I do read this kind of thing. Better than watching the news. Of it helps, the ending is not bleak. There’s a great twist.

Got it. You’re exactly right. I’m staying away from the news and just reading apocalyptic fiction (which is kind of like watching the news).

It was a bit like the show Succession–felt too real for comfort. One thing about the book? It doesn’t end dark. BIG twist which I found very clever.

I’m not sure I can read AI right now. I liked Alderman’s debut a lot but not sure I want the future, lol. and with Iowa vote last night, people are screwed … though I didn’t watch any news of it. Are you kiddin? It’s the bizarro world.
Nice review. Alderman is talented.
