Review: Klara and the Sun

Klara and the Sun Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Thé story is sad. It paints a sad reflection of humanity. Whilst the love, the passion might be unique of human beings; we are also fleeting, changeable and selfish. The mother wanted Josie to continue for her self. Josie wanted Klara but dumps her for college, disregarding the total devotion Klara showed towards her. No relationship in the book stood the test of time except Klara’s devotion to Josie. And Klara is the inferior, created specie over the human creator?

Review: The Rosie Project

The Rosie Project The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A heart warming endearing novel about the world from an autist point of view. We are all on the spectrum of self awareness and vary in the ability to empathise. It leads to examination of the way we communicate and how we try to quantify emotions and the quality of human emotions are just somehow beyond description and quantification. That is what makes me skeptical of artificial intelligence ever becoming human. Feelings are not calculable by algorithms and are so much more than just a mix of brain chemicals. Even a genius or a servant can’t quantify or qualify it.
