JP Seabright has done an amazing job at making AI empathetic and destroying my emotions in the process! Some of the poems absolutely wrecked me. I don't know if it was intended by the other, but I saw the main narrator as a metaphor for autism. Robots are often a metaphor for autistic people in media, but without going in to depth about the loneliness and otherness that robots and autistic people feel, but this chapbook hits the nail on the head with this metaphor. I absolutely will be revisiting these poems every time I need a good cry.
