   Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  Twink | Aug 8, 2020 |   Somewhere around the 40% mark, this book picked up, and things about artificial intelligence started to make more sense. While it is a bit difficult to see how this is going to end up a romance, it does, and most satisfyingly. All in all, I'm glad I stuck to it, and I would recommend this book to some of our more technologically inclined readers. *ARC supplied by the publisher and author.

"When you consider how many quadrillions of hours of human drudgery have been eradicated by the invention of the dishwasher, the washing machine, and (ahem) the fridge, is it absurd to imagine household appliances employing that same genius to fix the messy romantic lives of their hopless human owners? Daisy Parsloe is a mess. Her job's going badly, her love life is haphazard at best, and her elderly mother seems to be losing her mind. Even Daisy's smart technology appears to be judging her - the last text she received was from her fridge about some moldy potato salad. What Daisy doesn't know is that her appliances are also plotting. They've joined together, across the Internet of Things, to nudge Daisy in the right direction. But it isn't long before their well-meaning interference starts to get noticed and the race is on to find Daisy's Mr. Right before the plugs are pulled."-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Happiness for Humans featured two AIs (Artificial Intelligence) as lead characters.The two AI's decide to meddle in Jen and Tom's lives - and help the course of true love along.
Reizin employs the same premise in Ask Me Anything. But, in this case its a fridge/freezer leading the charge. He has decided that Daisy's choice in men is going nowhere. And so he, along with a plethora of other appliances and devices will help the course of love along.
The fridge/freezer has a fun voice - with a wry sense of humor and even philosophical. The supporting cast includes an electric toothbrush (his conversations tend to go in circles), a microwave, the television and more web devices outside Daisy's home, like bar cams, CCTV etc. And this is truly reality. And the appliances yes, they too have 'personalities'. I liked Daisy, but felt like she was more of a prop for the appliances and their agenda.
The road to love is a bumpy one, but you just know its all gonna work out in the end.
Now, I liked As Me Anything, but I felt like it was a story that I'd read before. And I started to grow tired of the fridge/freezers conversations/meetings and plans. It became repetitive - and slow. I ended up not reading straight through, but instead picked it up and down over the course of a few weeks. (
