Solitude and company
14.99 €
Lee, a brilliant student, workaholic, and professor's favorite, is promised a successful career at an IT giant and exciting projects that are important to humanity. But things turn out differently: Lee finds herself in a run-down, decrepit New York City, working for an unknown company. The company, however, does have an important mission: on assignment from the government, it is solving the problem of loneliness. Lee and her colleagues are tasked with teaching artificial intelligence to be a friend to humans.
People don't even know the word "loneliness"—it's too complex an emotion, and many years ago, it was erased from all dictionaries in the hope that the problem would disappear along with the word. However, loneliness is sweeping the world, cases are increasing every day, and lives depend on Lee's work. AI must receive and process as much data as possible, and to do this, Lee must feel and experience as much as possible, as quickly as possible. To what limits will a person accustomed to achieving success against all odds go if they are tasked with simply living life to the fullest?
"Solitude and Company" is Charlie Dyroff's debut novel, which was included on numerous lists of most anticipated books even before its publication. It's a story about the loneliness we don't recognize. It's a story about the friendship we don't understand. It's a story about the journey we take, which is unpredictable.
