I love a good robot story, and Ishiguro’s novel about an “artificial friend” to a sick young girl is no exception. Although it takes place in a dystopian future, the robots aren’t a force for evil. Instead, they serve as companions to keep people company. This book made me think about what life with super intelligent robots might look like—and whether we’ll treat these kinds of machines as pieces of technology or as something more. – source2021-12-22T18:36:25.000Z

I read an average of one book a week plus I spend a lot of time finding out what to read next.
I’ve chosen these books as my best reads this year (both science fiction and non-fiction).
