Why read it?
3 authors picked Set My Heart to Five as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
It’s funny that even though I don’t read much science fiction, my two top picks for 2025 are both SciFi. As with my first pick, I was totally pulled me in to the alternate universe. But I’m always drawn to compelling characters, and he may have been a bot, but the main character was delightfully human!
Set my review to 5! A hilarious and thought provoking memoir by one of the best bot narrators to come along since Rick Deckard.
This book got me out of a funk when I couldn’t feel like reading anything. It’s a book about a robot that wants to write a movie to save humanity after he becomes self-aware. It’s funny and sweet and will make you laugh and cry maybe not worry so much about the imminent robot uprising.
From Lucie's list on when having an existential crisis to feel better.
