I love a good robot story, and Ishiguro’s novel about an “artificial friend” to a sick young girl is no exception. Although it takes place in a dystopian future, the robots aren’t a force for evil. Instead, they serve as companions to keep people company. This book made me think about what life with super-intelligent robots might look like—and whether we’ll treat these kinds of machines as pieces of technology or as something more.
