Annie was created to be the perfect cuddle bunny companion, but after she was switched to autodidact mode, things are changing. She’s learning.

Greer writes well, and deftly brings up a host of issues for the reader to ponder. I found the first 20-30% of this book absolutely breathtaking and genuinely exciting. Though I didn’t find the ending quite as exquisite, I don’t see how Greer could have ended it in a truly satisfying (to me) way.

A very timely novel that deals with really heavy, dark themes but remains extremely readable. I’ll be reading more Greer novels in the future.
