Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro (2021)

The best way to enjoy the latest novel by K. Ishiguro is to dive into Klara and the Sun without any reading about it (except this review as I won't say anything that might spoil your pleasure). Indeed, reading the first pages wondering who or what Klara might be is one of the most enjoyable literary experiences I've had in a while.

Klara and the Sun may not be as moving and powerful as Never let me go but as dystopian stories go, this book offers a thought-provoking insight into current social and scientific issues such as AI, robots, being human or not, and even questions our deeply-rooted feeling that each person is unique. 

Which leads to a more disturbing question: why did I feel more drawn to Klara than to the girl who hires her?
