Artificial: A Love Story by Amy Kurzweil
2.25
A contemplative and philosophical graphic novel. The story involves a daughter, father, and grandfather. It seems to make some presumption of the reader's awareness of Ray Kurzweil, a futurist. Amy is helping Ray compile records of her grandfather's writing to aid Ray in creating a chatbot of his father. You get to know all three pretty well, but I'm not entirely sure to what end. The story jumps around a bit and could be better focused. There is talk about the role of technology and AI, living beyond our bodies, lots of interviews between father and daughter with no clear purpose, talk about writing this book without ever defining what the book is meant to be. It is interesting and readable and well drawn, I just don't know what story it was trying to tell
