    Summary: 
    A thoughtful, poignant novel that explores the creation of artificial intelligence-illuminating the very human need for communication, connection, and understanding. A young Puritan woman travels to the New World with her unwanted new husband. A Jewish refugee and professor of computer science struggles to reconnect with his increasingly detached wife. An isolated and traumatized young girl exchanges messages with an intelligent software program. A former Silicon Valley Wunderkind is imprisoned for creating illegal lifelike dolls. In dazzling and electrifying prose, Louisa Hall explores how the chasm between computer and human shrinking rapidly with today's technological advances echoes the gaps that exist between ordinary people.
    Genre:
