“I can’t be in love with someone who has no choice in the matter, so I’m setting you free”

One thing AAL has taught me is that power and love cannot coexist, and Annie Bot is a perfect representation of that statement.

Doug was a terrible person, and he’s the definition of hurt people hurt people, or robot I should say in this instance. Annie is a robot that he began a relationship with, but things quickly went down hill, because the more consciousness she gained, the more controlling he became and they began to crumble.

This is my first science fiction novel and I enjoyed reading from the perspective of AI. I actually caught my sympathizing a robot as she experienced humanity and “love”.

I enjoyed this book in the beginning, towards the middle  I was wondering where the story was going, but in the end everything made perfect sense. It’s definitely different from anything I’ve ever read.
