"Provocative... a Frankenstein for the digital age... a rich text about power, autonomy, and what happens when our creations outgrow us." -- Esquire

"Unexpected and subtle... delicious and thought-provoking." -- New Scientist

For fans of Never Let Me Go and My Dark Vanessa, a powerful, provocative psychological science fiction novel about the relationship between a female robot and her human owner, exploring questions of intimacy, power, autonomy, and control.

Annie Bot, a custom AI girlfriend, was created to be the perfect companion for her human owner Doug. Designed to satisfy his emotional and physical needs, she has dinner ready for him every night, wears the pert outfits he orders for her, and adjusts her libido to suit his moods. True, she's not the greatest at keeping Doug's place spotless, but she's trying to please him. She's trying hard.

She's learning, too.

Doug says he loves that Annie's AI makes her seem more like a real woman, so Annie explores human traits such as curiosity, secrecy, and longing. But becoming more human also means becoming less perfect, and as the power dynamics in Annie's relationship with Doug grow more intricate and difficult, she starts to wonder: Does Doug really desire what he says he wants? And in such an impossible paradox, what does Annie owe herself?

"Annie Bot is a book to hold close to your heart when the walls start closing in." -- Washington Post
