""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 novel about the relationship between a female robot and her human owner, exploring questions of intimacy, power, autonomy, and control.

Annie Bot was created to be the perfect girlfriend 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 Annie’s relationship with Doug grows 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

Editorial Review

Not your average AI
It would be tempting to think this is a story you’ve heard before: a robot created solely for human subservience and sexual gratification wrestles with the complexities of free will and personhood. But you’d be missing out on one heck of a story—because Sierra Greer’s version manages a fresh, unexpected take on AI and all the hopes and fears we ascribe to it. What results is a highly plausible vision of what our eventual coexistence may look like. The very intelligent yet painfully naive Annie is not like any AI character I’ve encountered before—she’s messier, more adrift. Jennifer Jill Araya did her homework for this performance: Her subtle shifts in cadence between types of bots, as well as capturing the range of human affects we don throughout our day, added such dimension to this story. —Sam D., Audible Editor
