started skimming this book quickly abt two chapters in bc the narrator creeped me the eff out and everything was just so uncomfortable. but even when i managed to zone in, absolutely nothing happened bc the narrator was too busy talking abt himself. maybe it was just my exp with this book but i wouldn't recommend it to anyone who has some trauma from past relationships

Well-written and compelling, despite the fact that it is narrated in first person by Charlie, a character I truly could not find it in myself to care about. I much preferred Adam, the robot, and Miranda, Charlie's girlfriend. There are some very interesting meditations on the role of artificial intelligence, technology, religion, morality. I'm sure I'll keep thinking about this book.
