In its midst Neill Bassett is helping to build the world’s first artificial intelligence - a computer that talks thinks lies and if all goes to plan feels bad about it too. But when the experiment swerves in an unexpected direction Neill is forced to confront a few buried feelings of his own - for his ex-wife for his dead father for his twenty-first-century life and for a very twenty-first-century woman called Rachel who might just hold the answer to it all...’Electrifying. Clever funny and very entertaining’ The New York Times’Worthy of Chuck Palahniuk ...
