Klara and the Sun A Novel (Audiobook)

Similar in theme to his 2005 sci-fi dystopiaNever Let Me Go, Kazuo Ishiguro's first novel since winning the Nobel prize for literature imagines the interior world of a benign robot. Klara is an "artificial friend" bought by a mother for her daughter, Josie, who is ill, possibly dying from an unspecified illness. Ishiguro perfects his singular blend of naivety and philosophical inquiry in this futuristic fable, which pulls off the clever trick of making a reader fall in love with a robot while warning against the encroaching impact of Big Tech on the individual soul.
