A look into the lives of 110-year old Sayoko San, her Filipino nurse, and a robot will give you a bit of Japanese and Tokyo history while framing the moral dilemmas of the future of artificial intelligence. Set in Japan in 2029, this science fiction-meets-historical-fiction novel looks at human and non-human relationships, who we trust and why, and how we are dealing with the deep raw scars of human history. This is a unique novel that is both thought-provoking and beautifully written.
