This gets old very quickly. I got to page 80 (of 430). Neither the human characters nor the AI characters were at all interesting.
But the whole situation is scary. Big brother is watching you, and isn't even human, but thinks it knows what you need. Wherever you go AI can find a camera to watch you from. And can use any electronic devices to change your life.

I have been getting into romcom books lately, and this title was recommended to me by my library's discovery service. I really, really enjoyed this! It was sort of a mix of a bunch of great elements: humor, sex, tech, philosophy and even a chase scene...
I felt like it was a chocolate and peanut butter situation - like my romcom bumped into your Neal Stephenson book.

I enjoyed P.Z. Reizin's previous book, Happiness for Humans. He has just released his newest book - Ask Me Anything.
Happiness for Humans featured two AIs (Artificial Intelligence) as lead characters.The two AI's decide to meddle in Jen and Tom's lives - and help the course of true love along.
Reizin employs the same premise in Ask Me Anything. But, in this case its a fridge/freezer leading the charge. He has decided that Daisy's choice in men is going nowhere. And so he, along with a plethora of other appliances and devices will help the course of love along.
The fridge/freezer has a fun voice - with a wry sense of humor and even philosophical. The supporting cast includes an electric toothbrush (his conversations tend to go in circles), a microwave, the television and more web devices outside Daisy's home, like bar cams, CCTV etc. And this is truly reality. And the appliances yes, they too have 'personalities'. I liked Daisy, but felt like she was more of a prop for the appliances and their agenda.
The road to love is a bumpy one, but you just know its all gonna work out in the end.
Now, I liked As Me Anything, but I felt like it was a story that I'd read before. And I started to grow tired of the fridge/freezers conversations/meetings and plans. It became repetitive - and slow. I ended up not reading straight through, but instead picked it up and down over the course of a few weeks.… (mais)
