Klara is an Artificial Friend, a solar-powered companion sold in a shop, where she watches the world from the window, reads people with uncanny precision, and waits to be chosen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIshiguro tells the story entirely from Klara's perspective, and the effect is disorienting in the best way: we see human relationships through eyes that are attentive, devoted, and wholly alien. The novel raises questions about personhood, sacrifice, and substitution that do not resolve cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRich for courses in AI ethics, literary fiction, technology and society, or philosophy of mind.
