A proposito di questo titolo

 'THOUGHTFUL AND ABSORBING' THE GUARDIAN
'DEVASTATING AND HOPEFUL' M.A. KUZNIAR
'A VERY SPECIAL BOOK' GARETH BROWN

As the world falls apart around them, piece by piece, Abigail Fuller spends humanity's final days looking after her husband David.

But that's not true, not really. Abigail isn't David's wife. She's not even human. She's a replacement, built in the image of the real Abigail, who died sixteen years ago.

And in three weeks, when the law changes, Abigail will no longer have to do anything David says. She'll be free to go where she likes, do whatever she wants to do. But having never lived for herself, Abigail now faces profound questions about what she is, how she wants to live, and who she wants to love.

Perhaps she should start with herself.

Tender, powerful and thought-provoking, Some Body Like Me explores the concept of AI, the boundaries of sexuality and the indefinable human capacity for love at the end of the world. Perfect for fans of Emily St John Mandel, Kazuo Ishiguro and Kaliane Bradley.©2025 Lucy Lapinska Letteratura e narrativa Narrativa di genere Narrativa letteraria

Recensioni della critica

Immaculate worldbuilding, thought provoking and paradigm shifting, it's evocative of Station Eleven, The Stranding and Blade Runner
Some Body Like Me is a propulsive, nuanced science fiction that asks deep questions of personhood, sexuality, gender, and what it means to be human. A triumph
Brilliantly unique and unforgettable, Some Body Like Me has romance and world building that will absolutely consume you - a feeling that lingers long after you finish reading. This story is all at once compassionate, gripping, and devastating in the best way possible. Full of heart and the complexity of human nature, this is a truly magnificent adult fiction debut
All at once quietly devastating and desperately hopeful, Lapinska's exploration of liberation is incredibly rendered, impossible to put down, and ultimately, incredibly romantic. A beautiful contemplation of selfhood at the end of the world
Some Body Like Me is a very special book. Part thought-provoking sci-fi, part lyrical love story, I was entranced. Abigail Fuller will stay with me for a very long time
Some Body Like Me has so much to say about the way we live our lives. This isn't just a love story - it's a lesson from history and a warning from the future. A moving and uplifting reminder to focus on what feels real to us
A tender examination of selfhood, the end of the world, and above all, love. Some Body Like Me is beautifully thought-provoking, devastating and hopeful
Contemplative and haunting, this is a beautiful story about unusual love, and what it means to be a person
Some Body Like Me is brilliantly conceived and exquisitely executed. Empowering and heart-wrenching, this book made me feel everything and question even more. Though dystopian in its premise, my overwhelming experience was one of hope - and it is a book that will stay with me for a very long time
A terrific book and a worthy addition to the books examining our emerging relationship with AI
A thoughtful and absorbing reflection on memory, mortality, sexuality and what defines a meaningful life
A compelling, and very human, read
[Asks] deep questions about the nature and meaning of life . . . Beautifully written and thought-provoking stuff
A philosophically and emotionally absorbing novel, Some Body Like Me is a sophisticated contribution to the hysterical narrative surrounding AI
