[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I liked the book, and I thought it circled back to the themes that made Never Let Me Go so poignant (but I still thought Never Let Me Go was better) Are there ethical implications when we use AI as a means to an end? Who are the true winners and losers in a hypercompetitive capitalist economy. I wish he explored the genetic engineering process more fully because I think it was an interesting plot point that just came in at the end. 
I would watch a movie adaptation of it as I think it could be done very well with the right production and actors.[/quote]

This really, really makes me want to read it, but I tried to read "The Unconsoled" by Ishiguro many years ago after reading "When We Were Orphans" and I am wary. The Unconsoled is a scar. But Never Let Me Go is a complete masterpiece.[/quote]

Never Let me Go is my favorite book ever and I loved Klara and the Sun. It is perhaps more optimistic than Never Let me Go. Now I want to go back and re-read Never Let Me Go.[/quote]

The Unconsoled was the only one I have ever finished by him. And at the end of it my only thought was "I get it, I am now the unconsoled, because that book was a struggle and completely unconsoling"[/quote]
