Why read it?
1 author picked I Heart Robot as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I was expecting the quintessential and stereotypical forbidden romance, and instead, what I read was one of the best explorations of humanity (in its various forms) I’ve ever encountered.
The novel explores how AI and androids might impact society in terms of art, politics, personal relationships, and much more. The author also has a way of making music important and beautiful – a difficult thing to do when it comes to being restricted to using text.
From Dave-Brendon's list on speculative fiction by South African authors.
