Through my AI Eyes: Klara’s Journey in the Human World

In 2021, the nomination of "Klara and the Sun" for the Goodreads Choice Awards Best Science Fiction barely hinted at how swiftly fiction would edge toward reality.

"Klara and the Sun" is a story of an Artificial Friend, Klara, chosen by a sick child to be her companion. The book explores the life of Klara as she navigates complex human emotions and desires.
