Such an interesting concept - almost like Ex Machina, but with so many prolific themes that I don't know how to look further discuss/dive into them

This book was so good and, everything I expected and more. The complexity of AI bots intermingling in society and how they are not that far off from humanity as one might’ve thought, is a scary feeling to realize especially with how far AI is progressing in real life.

I don’t normally read science fiction but I could stop. This book was definitely thought provoking and intense.

I wish the author had studied up on AI and how the field of general intelligence is progressing to better inform her on slight behaviors that make little Sense. Feminist cues way too on the nose. Some other philosophical and societal commentary that was also too obviously made. Some really interesting insights nonetheless.

I am speechless after finishing Annie Bot. This is my first 5 star read of the year and WOW I know I made the right choice waiting to give out this rating because this blew the other books I’ve read out of the park. At first this is West World meets Barbie but it goes so much deeper. It ends as a beautiful but devastatingly honest portrait of womanhood and the shackles of the patriarchy. Be sure to check trigger warnings but otherwise this is a must read.

It was on its way to be a 5-star but then... nothing? Her abusive owner has a change of heart and she just leaves? I see the potential for another book but no indication that this was supposed to be a cliff hanger. I really thought we were headed towards something deeper than her running towards another man.
