An enjoyable story about what it means to be human, from the perspective of an AI “friend”. (Even human aspects like faith!? )
Addresses themes of family, class, love, loss, environmentalism, coming of age in a dystopian future (I’ve heard that it’s set in Wisconsin?) where the line between human and technology is becoming blurred.
I enjoyed the writing style, it leaves room to figure out the story, However it leans a bit dry as it is written from the perspective of an AI.
