Why read it?
2 authors picked Culpability as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I loved this book because it combined spectacular writing, with a thought-provoking bigger idea on the ethics of AI. It was well-paced with drama and a moving plot, and the characters were well-defined and interesting. I also enjoyed the untypical family structure (ambitious wife, home-creating father) and how that was depicted tenderly in its complexity.
I still think about the topics raised in the novel, Culpability, on a regular basis.
Holsinger’s drama about moral responsibility and Artificial Intelligence raises issues that are increasingly relevant in daily life, but the book delivers its thought-provoking points through a fascinating storyline and entertaining characters.
The novel is highly provocative while weaving in mundane topics like sibling rivalry, high school sports, and marital troubles to make it relatable.
From Rachel's list on Rachel Cullen's favorite fiction books that stay with you long after you finish reading them.
