Review for Dave‘s Head by Suzanne Palmer
This is—you guessed it—a short story about a head.
He’s taken his head off again, somehow, and I never can figure how he does it with no thumbs or even fingers, and I know my uncle didn’t help, but there it is on the rug waiting for me, Dave’s head, and he opens his gigantic mouth wide and looks at me with his big, brown fake eyes, and says, “Road trip?”
The narrator takes an interesting road trip with Dave’s head, that‘s for sure! A slightly different AI story... This was fun, although I couldn‘t quite grasp what the author intended to say with this story — I didn‘t read it in one sitting though, which might have been the reason.

I will read more by the author, this is the second of her stories that I really liked.
