The Silver Metal Lover
The Silver Metal Lover | Tanith Lee
3 posts | 10 read | 6 to read
For sixteen-year-old Jane, life is a mystery she despairs of ever mastering. She and her friends are the idle, pampered children of the privileged class, living in luxury on an Earth remade by natural disaster. Until Jane's life is changed forever by a chance encounter with a robot minstrel with auburn hair and silver skin, whose songs ignite in her a desperate and inexplicable passion. Jane is certain that Silver is more than just a machine built to please. And she will give up everything to prove it. So she escapes into the city's violent, decaying slums to embrace a love bordering on madness. Or is it something more? Has Jane glimpsed in Silver something no one else has dared to see - not even the robot or his creators? A love so perfect it must be destroyed, for no human could ever compete?

Tanith Lee is my queen. ❤
The Silver Metal Lover is a futuristic, romantic tragedy. I loved it, even though it made me cry.

Apart from picture books on robots, I don't seem to own books that feature AI, although I've definitely read some. So instead I went down the Goodreads black hole and found some interesting AI-related reads. The top row were books already on my TBR list but the bottom row is new to me. Have you read any?

Zelma Alex + Ada won't change your life but I enjoyed it. Something felt very real to me about it. 8y
