One of the books with the most staying power that I’ve read. It’s an interesting take on how we treat machines, and how machines treat us. So many striking descriptions and moods that just imprint on your mind.

A beautiful piece of literary fiction, speaking to faith and longevity. Our main character is so soft and contemplative.
