About this listen

From the bestselling and Booker Prize winning author of Never Let me Go and The Remains of the Day, a stunning new novel - his first since winning the Nobel Prize in Literature - that asks, what does it mean to love? A thrilling feat of world-building, a novel of exquisite tenderness and impeccable restraint, Klara and the Sun is a magnificent achievement, and an international literary event.

but unlike the classic, its meaning remains deep on all levels. it's an unapologetically polarizing book.

The story started intersting, stayed boring for a long time and ended in a melancholic way. I liked a few revelations and questions it raised, but the repetition of phrases, words and actions bored me. it was a challenge to finish no doubt.

Lovely narration.

an excellent read; makes one wonder about the coexistence of man, nature and machines. the narrator deserves a special mention for making this experience ineffable

A soft tale about human nature

Beautiful concept, interesting characters. The narration by Sura Siu is fabulous, she infuses all the characters with life. In this book, Ishiguro explores the intersection of AIs and emotions, among other things. I loved his thoughtful and empathetic take on human-like AI and their interactions with humans. Interestingly, at several points, the AI seemed more humane than the humans.

The book is also a genre-bender. It blends elements of science fiction, myth, and fantasy in very interesting ways. The characters initially seem like cliches but then they go and surprise you as well.

The story feels like going along with someone who is trying to imagine a future with artificial humans and what it might look like.

Lovely interpretation of AIs and humans

what would happen to our world if machines/AI took over. A very thought provoking take on a dystopian future by Kazuo Ishiguro. Well written, as always, but found it a bit stretched in some places. Very well narrated too.

good
