Both
David and Charlie have been diagnosed with “dissociative disorder.”
Blame it on technology, social networks, or personal tragedy. David’s
parents get him a Companion to help him learn about “healthy
relationships.” She is a gorgeous redhead named Rose. She loves David.
She is also a robot with built-in intimacy protocols that administer an
electric shock whenever he oversteps his bounds. Her entire world is
David until something goes wrong and she needs Charlie’s help to
discover whether there’s anything real about her.
This is one of those strange novels that works its way into your head so you spend far more time thinking about it than you ever did reading it. It takes our world and twists, making it both so normal and so totally, completely weird, that when you emerge, everything seems different. David, Rose, and Charlie will make you think, hard, about love, sex, friendship, and what life actually looks like if you imagine the view from another person’s eyes. -- Megan K. |
