This book was interesting at the first half. The last half not so much. I listened to the audio book. The narrators British accent was overly dramatic and annoying. So that may have contributed to my feelings of the books last half.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the themes it explores. Itâs rife with material for discussion and I have liked reading different peopleâs interpretations of the story. It can be so easy to make an AI story overly sci-fi-geek to the point where itâs sort of cheap, but Ishiguro makes a truly grounded world of AIs and CRISPR that feels all too realistic. Easy read and interesting story, I recommend :)
