I feel so bad for Siri.
A man designs exactly how he wants his sentient AI girlfriend to look. He decides what wears, what she does each day, and what she doesn’t. The book is from the AI girlfriend’s perspective, Annie. And boy was this a tough read in some parts. Her owner is emotionally abusive. He is misogyny incarnate. This book isn’t an allegory, it’s direct. This is what an emotionally abusive relationship is. Here are the thoughts of the victim. There is a psychiatrist explaining abuser’s need for control. As a story it was fine. I appreciated it more as an illuminating look into something dark and horrid.
The audiobook narrator sounded a lot like Siri. It was weird.
