克拉拉是一个专为陪伴儿童而设计的太阳能人工智能机器人(AF),具有极高的观察、推理与共情能力。她坐在商店展示橱窗里,注视着街头路人以及前来浏览橱窗的孩子们的一举一动。她始终期待着很快就会有人挑中她,不过,当这种永久改变境遇的可能性出现时,克拉拉却被提醒不要过分相信人类的诺言。

在《克拉拉与太阳》这部作品中,石黑一雄通过一位令人难忘的叙述者的视角,观察千变万化的现代社会,探索了一个根本性的问题:究竟什么是爱?

The kind of book that makes you think

I originally rated this three stars, but this book did something that few books do: it stuck in my head, and I kept thinking about it long after I'd finished it. The premise may seem like cheap sci-fi up front, but it makes you think about life, planned obsolescence, and more.
