Ultimately I feel that this book fails to deliver overall. At times so repetitive I had to pause reading and distract myself. I think the concept for this story is a really interesting one and I always enjoy pondering the implications of AI. However, I must add that there is a concerning amount of people that think AI is anyway near this currently and to those people I say ... please do some research.
Anyway, I wish that this story was shorter or at least got into things much faster. By the end of the book I was actually really interested in what Annie, the bot, would do and think as she gained more and more consciousness, only for the book to end ten pages later. I think the author did a fantastic job in writing one of the worst and most hatable male characters, so props for that. I do, though, wish that so many of the characters that were introduced had made more comebacks and not just introduced and forgotten.
All that I said, I can see why the author made the choices they did for this story because the repetitiveness does add to this overall imprisoning feel just like Annie feels. I just think it really wasn't for me, I was hoping for a much more in terms of revenge. It just was too slow burn with a not really fulfilling end.
