Annie Bot by Sierra Greer
5.0
“She has been happy here, and anxiously miserable, but she has never been free.”
“You want to know danger? she thinks. Try living with a man who creates you just so he can eat your soul.”
This is basically a black mirror ep in book form. I’m teetering on the edge between 4.5-5 stars. The premise alone may not seem like it’s for you, but wow this is a perfect commentary on the objectification of people (specifically women), the ability for AI to be sentient, the lack of genuine love and connection when you are owned by someone. The yearning for autonomy & individuality. Explores what separates man from robot and what happens when the line begins to blur. This book is definitely a warning that I know the world will not heed and this definitely has the potential to be our future.
