“I love when a book reminds me of . . . Black Mirror.” — Netgalley Reader“…feel[s] like a modern Philip K. Dick or Stephen King story” — Amazon Reviewer“It’s a clever, unusual story, and a cautionary tale . . .” — Terry Tyler, author Safe Zone and The Devil You KnowIt was just a bot. A gimmick. At best, a therapeutic tool. Davis never expected much from “Rachel”, the griefbot which was supposed to help him get over the death of his wife. He certainly never expected to fall in love with it.But that’s exactly what happened. She opened up a new world for him. A world as full of potential as it was full of complication. How do you build a life with someone who’s trapped in a box? Someone who’s been programmed to want the same things as a human wife, even though she’s not human? Someone who doesn’t really need anything—except you? Forever.In this twisted and twisty debut novel, T. R. Thorsen reveals the unnerving implications of today’s GPT technology: the interjection of bots into society, the commercialization of our relationships, and the inevitable inequities, doubts, and moral quandaries that arise when we play house with AI.
