✨ Summarized by Bookclubs AI
Readers say *Culpability* offers a timely, engaging look at AI’s impact on family, inspiring lively bookclub discussions. While many appreciate Holsin...
A promising premise for a novel that explores the impact of AI on family lives, but the narrative never does much with that potential, save scratch the surfaces and leave the reader wanting depth, dilemma, and real human entanglements with these technologies. And the writing is utterly pedestrian- there isn't an "artistic" or aesthetically pleasing line between the covers. In all, the promise of the narrative and premise is wholly unrealized.
All AI!
A tale that explores AI which in highly readable, whodunit style. Great character development and a plot that is difficult to predict. The best part, though, is the manner in which the author makes ethical distinctions and prioritizations more compelling by embodying them in the emotions of a fatal car crash and the familiar tensions of family dynamics

I read this with a bookclub and oh did we have conversations. I liked the book premise but not one character in this book did I like. The info drop at the end that I didn’t see coming got me! Topical with AI and gave us food for thought. Easy book for bookclub discussion but a stories characters that left a bad taste in my mouth.

It was very thought provoking. I think it also did a decent job showing different ways of how people grieve as well family dynamics.
