Review of 'Galatea 2.2' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
Previous rating: 4 stars lol
might review this more later but on reread i am very underwhelmed by angsty professor/writer guy trying to work out his philosophical/existential questions about the nature of consciousness by dating one of his students, paternalistically emotionally abusing her, and then inventing an (of course female) AI in order to try to work out said big existential issues like "what is consciousness" and "what is love" and "why do i treat everyone in my life like an object" even though this was all kind of tongue-in-cheek and/or self-referential
i don't know it's just very LITERARY
