I had no idea what to expect with this one. I loved the cover and the blurb talked about AI – I was sold. The premise is very simple and I raced through the novel. When I reached the halfway ...

You are actually reading the second version of this review. The first consisted of a stream-of-consciousness which included the phrase ‘fuck you’ 463 times. Of course I hate this film. Someone with the remotest sense of critical taste was bound ...
