Brilliant but dystopian

The story of Klara, an AF or artificial friend, and her relationship with teenage Josie who has been genetically “uplifted” to enhance her academic abilities. He writes like a dream, spare, seductive. Really it’s about the ethical implications of technological advance....lots to think about.

Too chilling for me.

Klara and the Sun

Although this is a brilliantly written portrayal of a digital robotic 'person', I could only read half way. I found it profoundly disturbing mostly because of how well we are made to see though the eyes of the soulless Klara. Perhaps I will come back to it in happier times.......
