The Unseen World by Liz MooreRead about another entry on the list.
Ada is the daughter of David Sebelius, a computer scientist working on an early chatbot, ELIXIR, loosely modeled on MIT’s Eliza. Through Ada and David’s relationship, and Ada’s with ELIXIR, Moore teases out the ways that all tech, especially when it comes to artificial intelligence, is the sum of those who make it. It’s an extraordinary stunner about time, family, aging and memory, as tender as it is fascinating, and builds to an ending that still brings me to tears.
