"Provocative...a  Frankenstein  for the digital age...a rich text about power  autonomy  and
what happens when our creations outgrow us." —  Esquire "Unexpected and subtle...delicious and
thought-provoking." —  New Scientist For fans of Never Let Me Go and My Dark Vanessa  a
powerful  provocative novel about the relationship between a female robot and her human owner 
exploring questions of intimacy  power  autonomy  and control. Annie Bot was created to be the
perfect girlfriend for her human owner Doug. Designed to satisfy his emotional and physical
needs  she has dinner ready for him every night  wears the pert outfits he orders for her  and
adjusts her libido to suit his moods. True  she’s not the greatest at keeping Doug’s place
spotless  but she’s trying to please him. She’s trying hard. She’s learning  too. Doug says he
loves that Annie’s AI makes her seem more like a real woman  so Annie explores human traits
such as curiosity  secrecy  and longing. But becoming more human also means becoming less
perfect  and as Annie’s relationship with Doug grows more intricate and difficult  she starts
to wonder: Does Doug really desire what he says he wants? And in such an impossible paradox 
what does Annie owe herself? " Annie Bot is a book to hold close to your heart when the walls
start closing in." —  Washington Post
