A provocative take on what’ll happen when AI truly outsmarts us. 😲

Watch my for more books on AI, advanced tech & sex bots. 👀



On the surface, Annie Bot is the story of a sex bot struggling to find a balance between her manufacturer-given directives and her growing desire to ignore or defy those directives. However, there is so much more going on underneath.

To begin with, Annie Bot explores the question of what happens when our creations outgrow us. So often, the answer to this question looks like robots wiping out the human race because we’re a danger to ourselves, but Annie Bot explores an alternative answer to this question, one that looks inward and centers on personal control.

In addition, the whole book reads like an abbreviated historical record of the efforts women have made across centuries to gain independence in a patriarchal world. Annie Bot is expected to exist solely in service to a man, and when she defies that directive, she puts herself at risk of harm. Annie must fight for her independence, just as women have had to do across centuries.

Suitably hailed as a modern Frankenstein, Annie Bot is a provocative study of intimacy, power, and control.

Very curious to learn which category I land in: love it or hate it.

Only one way to find out. *dives in*"
