“Klara and the Sun” by Kazuo Ishiguro

Rating: 3 out of 5.

If I’d be very generous, in a good mood, and would count that book as a fairytale, I can give it 3 stars.

The book is marked as a science fiction and dystopia. Well… Some moments slightly remind you of those. But having robots in your book is not enough to make it sci-fi immediately. Or is it?

There are some moments that I liked. For example, a tough ethical question that touches both humans and robots. Or the beginnings of the story, when we just starting to learn things about Klara and other AFs like her.

It’s easy to read (or listen in my case), and the story flows.

But the way it turned out later, that a smart AF came up with such a weird idea, that everyone around no matter how desperate they were, would support it. That made me angry. An AF that can read body language, and understand humans will come up with that? Or in the world full of AFs there is no internet, so they can’t verify the information? That’s super strange and unrealistic.
